The console Xbox and the Microsoft Kinect plug-in they present a way of learning for the children based on the game and on the technical possibilities offered by this device. In addition, the experience is very attractive and interesting because the contents come from Sesame Street and National Geographic.
I have not had many options to try the Kinect and it is a revolutionary complement to the consoles because it reinforces the idea that to play there is no need for command because the command is the player himself that with his movements he experiences progress in the game. In that scenario Microsoft joins Barrio Sesamo, to enhance the knowledge of letters or numbers and National Geographic, to access content of nature and animals. I think that technology can help complement learning, make it entertaining and make children participate with games, mobility and can be very entertaining if we can also play with them or share the experience with more children.
I have seen that the game can be achieved in Spain, although also buying the game console. It is a way to participate with the favorite characters of Sesame Street in which the typical monsters of the neighborhood also appear. The objective of the game is to create an adventure full of discoveries, learning and fun for all children.
The contents propose learning about friendship, living together, overcoming fears. In addition there are a lot of activities and challenges for children.
I think it's a great idea for encourage learning in a playful and repetitive wayThis is how you learn, and I hope there are many more editions that improve and develop this powerful idea. We congratulate Microsoft for daring to go further with its console and especially for giving much value to the Kinect control.
