Footee Games..... Where Entertainment meets Education

Online, August 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The new extremely tech savvy "latest MTV generation" of children is so used to accessing their entertainment in dynamic quick fixes that they can find traditional methods of education dry, boring and unengaging. Daily lessons in classroom are increasingly likely to bore them and subjects such as Maths, science and geography can appear abstracted and irrelevant when presented via traditional teaching methods.
To address this growing issue, educational specialists have started to use new technologies to more effectively engage with their young target audience. Interactive electronic games in particular have been found to be very effective in communicating academic information in an interesting and exciting way.
The educational site www.Footee.com is a leading example of this new initiative in cutting edge education. It provides a free and safe online space for children to learn academic skills via interactive games designed by educational specialists. The unique thing about Footee is that the learning experience is themed around sport - and uses children's natural and almost universal love of Football to motivate them to learn. The site also allows children to develop important IT and social skills by offering very safe social networking - users that do not know each other can only communicate via preset options - making cyber bullying and exchanges of information impossible.
Footee is aimed at children 7-13 and covers all the main subjects across the Curricula including; Maths, Science, English and Geography - it also teaches children about good nutrition and can inspire them to become physically fitter by increasing their interest in playing football and other healthy activities .
The critical thing about website's like Footee are that they educate whilst children are having fun, so children who are not naturally academically motivated are far more likely to want to learn. Footee gives parents an ideal proposition - a place where video games are beneficial to their children's development and where they know their children are safe.
