Dept. of Ed Teaches Wii Fit

Tree Pose (Via Bent on Learning.)

We're stuck on tech this morning: The A.P. reports that Nintendo has donated Wii Fit consoles to five New York public schools. So, 25 students in the Bronx are "spending four hours a week after school boxing and bowling, playing tennis and golf and exercising...." (Just to be clear, they're not actually boxing, bowling, playing tennis, OR, really, exercising.) Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, the Dept. of Ed is looking for private donations to expand the program. We're with Gwyneth on this one: The kids get enough screen time. Give the money to Bent on Learning.
