Eclectic Technology

Now this is cool: FableVision Studios and MIT’s Education Arcade have issued a challenge to middle grade students and teachers: Between now and June 15th, use the web-based game Lure of the Labyrinth to improve student engagement and math instruction and not only will you enjoy a great game, but you’ll also help advance research gaming and the instructional process—and you might win some prizes! Lure of the Labyrinth...integrates standards-based math curriculum taking educational gaming to a new level where gaming is not used as a reward for completing a task but where gaming is the task...leverages the energy, creativity and commitment children have for video gaming while improving math and problem-solving skills."
