TEACHING TOOLS: Mario Kart Project Results!

I have been working for months on a literacy & math research project that uses Mario Kart for the Wii in Gr. 2-5. I was looking specifically at how the game impacted engagement levels and work outcomes for boys working below expected limits--but I also looked at how it impacted other students as well.

The results are now in! If you'd like to read more about this games based learning initiative, please go to this blog site:
