Kinect Used for Math


 “Kids like technology; kids like video games.”  Watch the video and see how one teacher had programmers develop a Math App in Johnny Kissiko's  Kinect in Math article on the K12 Mobile Learning blog. There is a video showing how math is being used by connecting movement and math.  You can see yourself on the video as you can see the graphing being created by using your body.  The others students that aren’t actively using the Kinect are able to give feedback to help the participant.  A teacher needs a computer and a Kinect.  

I will tell you right now…I would’ve loved math if I could get up and move around while learning.  I think this is a great idea!  It will take a long time for something like this to be put into every classroom, but it makes me excited about what changes are going to happen to education in the next few years.
