Playtime is becoming learning time for a group of Marion Harding High School freshmen. The Freshmen Select, a group of freshmen in need of extra academic guidance, are getting to study the Nintendo Wii and the Kinect for Xbox 360. Their aim is not to become better players, but to learn more about the science behind and the history of the gaming systems. The objective of the lesson is to let the students integrate information into a group project. Students do the research and decide how best to present it.
