Exergaming in action!

DLAB

I have really enjoyed using the technology to create our own exergames. The group I was supporting with this, had a great idea to use the VR and virtual table tennis to create their game. For this the pupils had to more their bodies while wearing the VR to hit the ball back to the other side of the table. While creating these games it was clear that the pupils had an understanding of exergames and how to use technology to create them. While working with them it became clear that they felt that by creating these games they would become ‘changemakers’ as they are able to teach other young people how to use technology to exercise. It was been really interesting to see how their ideas have changed about changemaking and using technology to exercise, they are all starting to gain a better understanding of how they can tell others about changemaking and exergames.
