[senit] gaming systems

Theres quite a lot of material out there on using some of the tools to
support exercise and healthy lifestyle - I seem to remember some work
done with some PS2 games as stimulii for topics in schools as well but
couldn't reference it

Today I have just got one and ordered two brain programs as I think they
could be good for a child I have to assess who has memory problems - I
was put onto the idea by a newly diagnosed dyslexic university  student
who has found it has increased his reading speed - anecdotal perhaps,
but he is comfortable with using it because his (non-dyslexic) friends
all enjoy it
Cheers

Does anyone use or has seen a nintendo Wii or a playstation 2 being used
effectively in schools?
