Game consoles in classrooms?

In his blog, EdTe.ch, Tom Barrett write about his experience of using game consoles in the classroom.

I can see the potential for Consoles in Classrooms, especially after examining what the students

were able to  achieve using Endless Ocean.

What is WatchKnow?

Imagine hundreds of thousands of great short videos, and other media, explaining every topic taught to school kids. Imagine them rated and sorted into a giant Directory, making them simple to find. WatchKnow--as in, "You watch, you know"--is a non-profit online community devoted to this goal.

So much more to TaLe than meets the eye.
