Musings and findings about teaching with games. Created by the learning community of EDTEC 670 at San Diego State University.

I spent the weekend in San Francisco with some friends who have young children (2-3 years old) and was surprised at how much even young children were using e-games (through Sesame Street, Bob the Builder, etc) to build hand-eye coordination and to develop other skills. All of these kids also come from bi-lingual households and are spoken to in English/Spanish and English/Italian. I was thinking about the point made in the text book that language learned at a young age is actually stored in a different part of the brain than language learned as an adult. I was wondering if the same may be true with computer skills learned at such a young age through educational games.
