A while back I did a post about Dance Dance Revolution Classroom edition, which is a version Konami games development produced to help school kids fight against childhood obesity problems. The new DDR game seems to be spreading like wildfire, as now it's made its way into the classroom in Fresno, California. This is the result of a partnership agreement between the California Endowment's "Health Happens in Schools" and Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. It's a joint effort to make exercise and physical activities fun for the students by bringing music into the mix for them to dance to. DDR Classroom edition makes it possible for up to 48 students to participate at the same time using wireless dance pads for them to move on. The new music game has already caught on and taken hold of multiple schools by now, which is starting to make this initiative a nation wide effort in the process. So let me bring you up to speed with the full official description of Dance Dance Revolution Classroom Edition.
"DDR Classroom Edition is an interactive video game that combines physical activity with energetic music and visuals, also known as an exergame. The game and associated hardware technology, which was developed by Performance Designed Products, enables up to 48 students to participate simultaneously, using wireless mat controllers that feature a smart card reader that tracks each student's individual progress. While students move to the beat, teachers receive vital information about their students' health including steps, body mass index (BMI) and caloric burn rate. The project was funded by a grant from The California Endowment."
You can check out some images below and a couple of videos for you watch just to get a better understanding of how the whole process works when you get a bunch of kids together in a classroom to burn those calories away. Dance Dance Revolution has really caused just that, a revolution in more ways than one.
