UTILISING TECHNOLOGY TO REINFORCE GREAT LEARNING HABITS FROM AN EARLY AGE

The team were fascinated to hear about how drug company BAYER have created new device  linking up brilliantly yet intuitively with the Nintendo DS.

Called their DIDGET DEVICE, it simply, and brilliantly, encourages children to take their necessary pin-brick blood sugar tests for diabetic children- by then linking it to any Nintendo DS. The more you do this, the more points you receive within the game playing environment of the DS.

Deliciously simple - we would love to see this time of interaction with game based technology in schools. The possibilities are surely endless... !!!! - ONCE AGAIN SIMPLE WINS..!!!
