Computer+Maths=Better Learning
By Bren Taylor (Director), 02 October 2008
LTS (Learning and Teaching Scotland) are at it again - promoting what many of us already believe, that computers can be good for your mental agility. Mums and dads take note - your children may well be on Messenger, Facebook, Bebo, YouTube, Habbo, all at the same time, multi-tasking in a multi-multi world(!) but they might also be improving their maths, especially if they’re simultaneously doing some extra brain games.
Yet again another challenge for education game designers - keeping them engaging yet simple enough to be used at the same time as half a dozen different other social networking tools. For a useful summary of the LTS report, check out the BBC coverage.
