Forget your French Textbook - Grab that PS2

Sony is testing out the PS2 as an educational tool. Teachers at Holyhead Secondary School in Handsworth, Birmingham, UK are designing lessons to operate on the PS2.

Children intent upon circumventing the technology to play commercial games will be disappointed.

Teachers believe that lessons can be customized to help students who need additional support on particular topics. Teachers are learning how to create rich media to provide a captivating experience.

It could be an effective method for having those button clicks count for something.

Parents of children involved in video game learning at school need to consider whether to reduce the child's video game usage at home.
