Mt. Eden High School Puts Our Games to the Test
In May of 2007, we sent prototypes of our games to Mt. Eden High School in Hayward, California for testing - to see how our games can work in a classroom environment to teach kids about business in the global market. The test was a monumental success.
Vice Principal Richard Johanson, of Mt. Eden High School said, "We tested these products for 2 weeks, a total of 72 hours of instruction with a total of 200+ students. These interactive learning experiences were enthusiastically received and the test results were an overwhelming success. These hands on learning experiences resulted in an innovative, unique and high student involvement in our classrooms. ... Without a doubt, these testing experiences were positive for the students, the teachers and key district administrative personnel who came to observe."
Johanson continued, "We are currently implementing these program simulations to stimulate our students and involve them in hands on interactive team approaches that simulate the real world experience. The rationale for this activity relates to the fact that our current curriculum is failing our students. The No Child Left Behind act has facilitated a new standards based curriculum that relates to building intellectual capital that can be applied to the global economy; our current process of education is not working!"
Mt. Eden High School is part of the Hayward Unified School District
