I was just wondering if anyone has tried to use the Nintendo Wii sports games in their classroom. I haven't personally played these games, but I have heard good reviews about how fun they are and that they are also a great workout. These days I think that we need to use the technology out there in order to get and keep kids motivated about physical activity. If you have used the Nintendo Wii I would like to hear your thoughts on the system. |

I have used the Wii with a group of kids in the classroom. The sports games are a blast, but nothing like the workout they get with DDR. It is definetely better than the conventional video games though. The good thing is, with the popularity of the Wii, you know there will be more "action" gaming systems to come in the future. |

I just got the Nintendo Wii and I love it. I got a really good work out play it, maybe because I am just competitive, but there are so many games you play, you never get bored. I think it would be neat to have a Wii in a Physical Education class to teach students certain skills and movements. I cant even imagine what will be invented in a couple years! |

Hello i have recently experienced playing the wii and i could not believe the workout that you get when playing. I was wondering how many people have tried to adapt this into their curriculum and if so has there been any success. Or does anyone know of any school districts that have tried to aquire this new technology for their classes? |
