East Gippsland Specialist School has installed a Multiball interactive sports wall to improve students' motor skills and encourage them to be more active.

abc.net.au/news/multiball-east-gippsland-specialist-school-sport-games/101864398Screens have become an integral part of children's lives and some schools are now integrating them with sport to pique students' interests.

"It has had an impact on every student who has participated ... I think it's going to change the school in a very, very big way," he said."Some activities and games that come with the program, we'll be able to adapt and modify and get kids that previously were quite in danger of missing out on physical activity and also intellectual activities."

Michael Mitchell says the screen develops students' processing time, strategy, physical skills, and perception. "You could see students having to use their strategic-thinking skills, their problem-solving skills, in a way that they have never really had the opportunity to do so before." "I think that this technology could be an effective way to see if we can engage those children that for whatever reason, sport hasn't been something that's interested them."Dr Southerton said although many parents were concerned about gaming addiction, research on the topic has been inconsistent, and games could be beneficial if they are educational and age-appropriate.

We can never forget how Dictator Dan banned our kids from school, seeing friends, sports and how he jailed them in their houses for 22 hours a day in his world record lockdown. He truly is one sick and twisted psychopath.
