Title: Using Nintendo DS in education? Post by: Benhctc on July 03, 2007, 05:19:26 PM
Hi all, I work at a school who are looking to use the Nintendo DS and some of the educational software with students to help boost things like basic literacy and numeracy skills. I am basically asking for help from anyone who has experience with this software or experience of using DSs in a school environment... What is the potential of this project? I would welcome any advice ranging from suitable software available to the logistics of looking after and charging a class set. ... Can feedback from a class set of DSs be sent to a teacher? Please - if you have any knowledge or experience that you think we would benefit from however small, it would be much appreciated. Regards, Ben Title: Re: Using Nintendo DS in education?

Hi, Have started to experiment with Nintendo DS Big Brain Academy (http://www.bigbrainacademy.com/) and am quite impressed from a motivational perspective but 'tasks' can not be modified to suit individual needs. Woudn't it be great if there was a framework that allowed modification of parametrs and individualisation? Best Sambal |
