26. Start a business or support a business Students can create their own business and market via Facebook. Students can team with a local business and market the local business. http://www.interactiveinsightsgroup.com/blog1/facebook-for-business-superguide/
29. Why Video Games? Games teach skills that employers want: analytical thinking, team building, multitasking and problem-solving under duress. Unlike humans, the games never lose patience. And they are second nature to many kids. There's already an audience; more than 45 million homes have video-game consoles. At-Risk students have shown to benefit from building their own video games
30. Research on video games in education Simulation and adventure games - such as Sim City and RollerCoaster Tycoon, where players create societies or build theme parks, developed children's strategic thinking and planning skills. (BBC News, March 2002) Doctors who spent at least three hours a week playing video games made about 37 percent fewer mistakes in laparoscopic surgery and performed the task 27 percent faster than their counterparts who did not play video games. (MSNBC News, April 2004) A detailed literature review on video games and learning can be found here: http://www.futurelab.org.uk/research/lit_reviews.htm

39. Nintendo DS Some immediate benefits to using DS were: limited or no training needed for teacher or students, networked classroom instantly, learning is transparent, allows for differentiation, teachers can tutor one on one without other students knowing, low cost and multiplayer downloads.
40. How Teacher’s use Nintendo ds student response system, math questions, skill practice, morning warm up, discussion questions during read aloud, finding evidence in the text they were reading, paperless classroom, station work, tutoring one on one, shared learning/instant networking, grammar practice and review.
43. Japan: Wide Use Each DS will feature 60 applications covering kanji, math, civics, physics, and history Will allow students to take tests, do assignments, and hook up to the teacher's DS through wi-fi in order to receive real-time feedback on their work. http://kotaku.com/5284180/nintendo-ds-software-allows-for-classroom-test-taking
44. 2009: the Sacred Heart Senior National School in Ireland decided to use Nintendo DS gaming devices as and aid to teaching math. 3 classes spent 15 minutes a day using two games, Math Training and Brain Training. In 6th grade, relative to their peers, the Nintendo group scored substantially better. Gains were “obvious and significant”. In 5th grade, the average gain in the experimental group was 6 percentile points higher than in the control group. In 4th grade, almost every pupil in the Nintendo group improved their score in comparison with last year – the average increase was more than 10 percentile points. The children who made the greatest gains were those (in 4th class) who had been using the game both in school and at home.

56. Wii in physics class Assist students with solving physics word problems. Students write a five-part physics word problem using specific examples from Wii Play. Use: Wii Tennis or Cow Race Students will figure out the velocity of the ball given a distance and time. They look up the exact specs of a table tennis playing area. Students then connect the velocity problem to an acceleration problem, which then is used to solve a force, momentum, and work problem. Purpose: students gain a better understanding of how physics problems are worded and how to properly set up a difficult word problem. Math skills are reinforced and comprehension skills are improved.
57. Wii in physics class "Project Surf.” Use: Wii Homerun Derby (from Wii Sports) First, a video clip from "Science of Summer" is shown in which we discuss the force of a pitch as it hits the catcher's glove. The Wii is used to have students try to hit pitches (using homerun derby game) The purpose is to show just how fast pitches come in and how a batter's timing needs to be perfect. Students take data in the excel-to-go program on our palm pilots. Students record the time of each pitch and then deduce how to find the velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and work of the pitch. The unit culminates in May when they attend an Atlantic City Surf game. Students time pitches and enter data in the palm pilots for a pitch-by-pitch analysis of a few innings of the game.
