Educators are turning to video game technology to help today's students learn how to manage their finances and study natural history.
In two stories published by The Daily Tell, an online news resource that focuses on American business initiatives that benefit society, we learn that educators are putting video game technology to use in innovative ways.
Two geology professors help students learn natural history through a Second Life "island" where student can interact with natural history elements and watch videos. Second Life allows you to create virtual habitats within its virtual world.
NTV is helping students learn how to manage savings, reduce debt, and maintain a satisfactory life style by planning the finances for "Piggy Banks".
We have an ongoing discussion about these uses of video game technologies in the Video games being used to teach students finance, natural history thread at SF-Fandom.
