One of my projects over the summer is to look at how the wii can
be used in sport science, as I think there is lots of potential
there. Not the sports pack that comes with it, but using the code
that converts a wii remote into an interactive whiteboard, I think
can be used to carry out crude movement analysis, and digitising
systems, something which costs thousands of pounds at the moment,
but I think can be done much cheaper.
buy Wiiplay as it comes with an extra remote, which is useful
for two-player games. Wiiplay is also good for hand-eye
coordination games. Will write up blog entry and let you know other
useful features of Wii...

Most of the good e-learning games I have seen have been for the DS rather than the Wii.

All the good practice I've seen - but ask @Lils and @DaveF have involved the use of basic 'sports' game and Wii-fit basics

Well so far i've asked for Big Brain Acadamy and My Word Coach for the Wii, plus it comes with Wii sports.

The way the browser works is perfect for a user who has limited mobility.

Cheers Lillian, I've been looking at your Wii related blog posts, and I might be using them as evidence if I need to justify getting the Wii
