In an era where chalkboards are being replaced by Smart Boards and textbooks by iPad tablets, some educators see educational computer games pioneering the next wave in the digitization of the classroom. The Clark County School District released on Tuesday the positive preliminary results from a five-year pilot initiative that brought the "ST Math" software to seven of the valley’s lowest-performing elementary schools: Bonner, Cortez, Decker, Diaz, McCall, Sewell and Ward. The pilot program has grown since its inception in 2009 to 32 schools, with more than 10,000 participating students this year. Developed in 1998 by Mind Research Institute — a California-based nonprofit education group — "ST Math" teaches abstract math concepts through video game-like instruction. “We’ve seen consistent growth everywhere.

UK | Scotland | Computer game boosts maths scores A daily dose of computer games can boost maths attainment, according to a study carried out in Scottish schools. Learning and Teaching Scotland - the main organisation for the development of the curriculum - analysed the effect of a "brain training" game. It also found improvements in pupils' concentration and behaviour. The study involved more than 600 pupils in 32 schools across Scotland using the Brain Training from Dr Kawashima game on the Nintendo DS every day. The project followed a pilot study in Dundee last year. LTS worked with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education and the University of Dundee to see if the pilot results were replicated on a wider scale. Improved scores A group of pupils played the game, which included reading tests, problem-solving exercises and memory puzzles, for 20 minutes at the start of their class for nine weeks. The pupils were tested at the beginning and then the end of the study. It found improvements in absence and lateness in some classes.
