iPhone Games in Education - NASA Engineer Demos Angry Birds in Space
Angry Birds Space demo by NASA is an example of using successful iPhone games to encourage learning about science, space, and physics (and probably an alternative revenue source for a government agency struggling for survival… but that’s not the point). Like learning from stories, learning through games is something kids do naturally. A single iPhone game is not enough for gamification of learning, though, it still requires engagement – by parents, by teachers, and by other children.
