A Whole New Mind

Play - "Games are the most elevated form of investigation." Albert Einstein
21 century people spend more money on video games than they do on movies.

"A growing stack of research is showing that playing video games can sharpen many of the skills that are vital in the Conceptual Age." The book commented that even doctors could benefit from the GameCube.

In India a doctor created the laughter club used to create a sense of joyfulness. A doctor noticed that the patients got better faster when they laughed.

Laughter provides something that the left-brain can not. From laughter students are lead to greater creativity, productivity, and collaboration.

What games do your students play with or without technology?

It is important for us to find our inner child.

Angelina Etter, Diane Ireland, Brooke Jennings, and Elizabeth Hill
