LA Kids are learning via Video Games

This is from an announcement that I found:

"Commencing Oct. 1, 2007, PlaySmart rolls into schools all over Los Angeles County. Billed as a unique educational program from STAR Inc., PlaySmart uses existing and popular games as a means of teaching school age children skills such as problem solving, technological familiarity, objective thinking, literacy and other right and left brain exercises.

PlaySmart employs games such as Dance Dance Revolution™, Pokémon™ TCG and various other video games to enhance instruction in physical education, literacy, group dynamics, team building and positive gamesmanship."

Lucky kids! If you are a kid, reading this, enjoy! I have been one for having fun while learning or working. Learning and working do not have to be hard work.

In fact, this learning with games is not new but some people are now getting bold enough to roll these out. Even at work and at meetings, we know that having fun is the work to impress upon the audience. So, who says that working life is much different from school?
