Mental Dexterity

The purpose of my community is to create awareness and educate my members about the positive effects of video games within the brain. I will inform the members how the video game market has expanded to include people of all ages and abilities and how they can start to gain Mental Dexterity through fun games!




Great Website The Educational Arcade has a similar purpose to my own community.
Their Purpose:

The Education Arcade explores games that promote learning through authentic and engaging play. TEA’s research and development projects focus both on the learning that naturally occurs in popular commercial games, and on the design of games that more vigorously address the educational needs of players. Our mission is to demonstrate the social, cultural, and educational potentials of videogames by initiating new game development projects, coordinating interdisciplinary research efforts, and informing public conversations about the broader and sometimes unexpected uses of this emerging art form in education.

Education Arcade projects have touched on mathematics, science, history, literacy, and language learning, and have been tailored to a wide range of ages. They have been designed for personal computers, handheld devices and on-line delivery
