With the Wii and other video gaming systems being incorporated in the classroom, is this taking away from other aspects of physical education outside of being active? When playing a sport there is a lot more to be gained other than physical activity. When involving kids in game situations, they learn things that cannot be taught with video games. The students are learning strategy, cooperation, collaboration, and other social skills. Also, will this mean a student will go home and play his Wii because it is more 'fun' than other types of physical activity?
