Fitnessgaming add Primary Steps games to software options

Ink.learning and fitnessgaming, have just reached an agreement for fitnessgaming to distribute Primary Steps Maths and Phonics games with their exclusive Cobalt Flux JFS packages for primary schools. Following several months of research that has included Ink.learning demonstrating the PS games using a JFS dance mat on their stand at exhibitions, the collaboration was consolidated. The agreement is part of Ink.learning’s launch of Primary Steps into the rest of the UK market following its successful reception at the recent Scottish Learning Festival.

Fitnessgaming is now offering Ink.learning’s two software titles Primary Steps Maths and Primary Steps Phonics with their Just for Schools Dance Mat package (JFS). These learn-through-play games use dance mats as controllers for pupils to explore maths and phonics within targets created by their teacher. They add active learning games to the fitness gaming software provided with the JFS dance mat system.

The Cobalt Flux Just For Schools Dance Mat package has been sold to over 5500 schools and is a means of implementing Healthy Schools, PE and Sport, and Extended Schools government inititiatives aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of students. This improvement in turn has a positive impact on learning capability. So it is only natural to extend the range of software offered with the JFS package to include active learning games. Primary Steps runs on PCs or Macs with the Cobalt Flux mats, which also connect into games consoles including the Wii used in the JFS package.

Steve Flack at ink.learning said “We sell foam mats with the software that are fine for pupils, but are not robust enough on an exhibition stand where it is often adults in shoes using the software. When fitnessgaming delivered the JFS mat to use on our exhibition stand we knew we had the long term answer – it just plugged in and we were up and running straight away.”

Duncan Black of fitnessgaming commented: “getting pupils active whilst learning is the aim of fitnessgaming, and the Primary Steps games extend both the uses and the benefits of a dance mat system for primary schools. The last SATS results show that four in ten pupils leave primary school without a basic grounding in the three R’s and Primary Steps is one very positive way of addressing this issue”.

Primary Steps Science game now in production

aileenmcgibbon — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:46:50 +0000

Here at ink.learning, we are busy building the latest edition to the Primary Steps series of interactive games. We are always looking at ways in which we can support essential curriculum content using new and innovative interactive ideas to enhance the learning experience. Primary Steps Science is the next exciting game in development.

Pupils will be able to experiment with energy and forces, magnetism and electricity. They can explore how the moon, earth and sun interact to make day and night. Learn about Newtons law of gravity and Darwins tree of life and much more. The games employ colourful and imaginative designs with animated characters that add a magical aspect to the overall interactive experience.

It is hoped that a demo of the Science game in progress will be previewed at the BETT 2010 exhibition at Olympia, 13 – 16 January 2010.
