Wiihabilitation

A co-worker sent me this article today on how Nintendo's Wii is being used for rehab therapy. Interestingly, patients mention that the normal rehab exercises can be downright boring (note how you can substitute "patients" for "students" and substitute "rehab exercises" for "educational program" to characterize many critiques of education).

Part of me wonders when articles like this will stop receiving press simply because it is not "news" anymore. It's amazing that some people are genuinely surprised that games have something good to offer. Several years ago, people would talk about how games were mentally engrossing (like it was a bad thing), but this article talks about how games that are mentally engrossing actually help the patients because it takes their minds off of the rigor of the exercises.

I think you and I have discussed this one before. I reckon there is enormous potential for the wii in therapy. Check out #10 on my top 10 list over at Jane Hart's aggregation of top 10 learning tools (oh, and - if you haven't already done so - add your own while you're there!)

Yeah...I think there are several articles out there that talk to the potential of the Wii.

Jane Hart's website is very good, and I appreciate the reminder to post my top 10 tools. I missed it last year, but wanted to make sure that I made it this year.
