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 who had been using the game both in school and at home.

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.

Once Upon a time…

“Student’s today can’t prepare bark to calculate their problems. They depend on their slates, which are more expensive. What will they do when the slate is dropped and it breaks? They will not be able to write.”

-Teachers Conference, 1703

“Students today depend upon paper too much. They don’t know how to write on slate without getting chalk dust all over themselves. They can’t clean a slate properly. What will they do when they run out of paper?”

-Principal’s Association, 1815

“The Internet is not a great tool for teaching. ..People think that children can think of any topic and pull up a wealth of information on it, but that is not the case.

The information in the library is what people seem to expect, but nobody has the time to transcribe entire libraries onto computers. There is nothing on the Internet that is incredibly beneficial to education.”

-The Monterey County Herald, 1999

“We are not going to allow iPods and BlackBerrys and cell phones and things that are disruptive in the classroom. Classrooms are for learning. Teachers cannot be expected to look under every kid’s desk at what they’re doing.”

-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, 2007
