Post: Need input on project

Posted by Michael Vitelli on 11/26/07

    We, an ex Columbia University, Microsoft, and Google
    Employee have developed a software and hardware solution
    for children and parents. Our goal is to increase
    education to children/students, while decreasing video
    games / PC games / online games and website visits / cell
    phone activity usage. A behavior modification approach to
    the learning experience, for children between the ages of
    five and eighteen. Parents and educators will now have a
    tool that encourages learning and creative problem solving
    by motivating their children to earn game / play time /
    phone time. Parents and educators will also have a way to
    control their child’s/students obsession. : We are able to
    now limit the amount of time played with video games / PC
    games / online activities, installing a propriety
    education portal (similar to linking to Wiki portal)
    and/or linking to the school systems curriculum, which
    advances game play / online time / phone time with
    successful completion of correctly answered questions, and
    learning modules, changing content each day and time
    allotted for continued game play. The game or online use
    will be blocked, using the patented software/hardware,
    until successful completion of tasks. We are not only
    providing a service, but have created several win-win
    scenarios. The child/student attention is now divided
    between leisure activity and learning transferable
    marketable skills through knowledge building by answering
    questions requiring creative problem solving while
    blocking online use/pc and game consoles. Children or
    students now have double the benefit since the education
    portals will shape behavior to help them reach both their
    short term goals through earning game time and long terms
    goals of employment or being productive members of
    society.

    If you’re interested in these tools we developed, please
    email us. We would love to work with a few schools at this
    time while in beta phase of developement or give us your
    thoughts on the project. Thank you for your time.

    Regards,
