Wii Would Like To Play, In The Classroom

The cheap and new piece of technology that is a great idea that many classrooms are adapting, is using the Wii Remote as an interactive tool to work with the whiteboards. Many classrooms, if not all, have a whiteboard in it, and Wii remotes are cheaper to purchase than purchasing a SMARTboard. The Wii remote will allow classrooms to have an interactive classroom without spending ridiculous amounts of money on technology. Simply purchasing a few pieces of technology, can create a whiteboard into a SMARTboard. We all know how much the students will get excited about new pieces of technology that they get to use during class. Technology that they get to use and not just the teacher. Technology that is a Wii remote. Technology that the students think they know everything about. Technology that they think will let them play games in class. Technology that BAM! let's them learn in class. How excited would I have been if my teacher brought in a Wii remote to let us use in the classroom with the whiteboard? I would have been pumped about learning! I would have been so engaged! With this new, cheap learning divice, the teachers are going to have to allow this to happen and let them explore all that the children can.
