Emerging Technologies Investigation

Emerging Technology on the Computer:
1. Facebook
2. iPod
3. Wii
4. Sims 2-3
5.Camera's
I am deciding on the Nintendo Wii and the Sims 2, both teach us great things, but i am aiming for the one the probably teaches more.
List Of Usful things on Wii:
1.  Can learn about guitars and drums, from rock band.
2. practice aiming 
3. learn to cook from a game.
List of Useful things on the Sims 2-3
1. teaches us about life.
2. lets us interact with other people (sims)
3. let people think about how the sims would react.
4.learn different kinds of food.
5. Teaches us about style (how to dress sims)
6. Lets us run our businesses  (sims 2 open for business) 
7. Teaches us how to raise kids.
8. Lets us be creative with our sims lives.
9. how to use up time in the day (sims timing for jobs and sleep and eating)
10.  sims go through same things people go through throughout life stages. (birthdays, school, love life, kids)
Out of all these options i think that the sims 2-3 will be more interesting to write about because of its many options.

The sims 2 could be used for teaching students how humans would interact or should interact. they can teach the kids about nutrition, a humans daily diet. for instance, if the sims eat to much and no exercise they become fat.

All students can use it wether they are unsure about life of nutrition or how death can occur, or just anything to do with life, from a baby to the death bed.

This could improve the lesson in many ways, one of those ways can be, is that it keeps the kids distracted, while they explore the human world online, they would be concentrating on it for a very long time because it catches there attention. the reason why it catches there attention is because it is a fun game and most kids learn by having fun.
