If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.
John Dewey, Educator
I found the above quote on the web site of KUATO STUDIOS. I learned about this dynamic video game/education company when I first met Mark Horneff the Managing Director of Kuato. The more we talked, the more I needed to know.
One of the people Mark said I had to meet was David Miller, Kuato's Director of Learning. Together they came up with a twist on education for the 21 century that will make everyone re-think the role video games can play in a most positive way when it comes to preparing our children for the future.
Some of their most popular games include: Dino Tales and Code Warriors, and Code Warriors teaches children how to code and is offered free at KUATO STUDIOS.
From a early age both my sons were very into playing video games. Like most parents, my first thought was I better steer them into something else. Both boys were doing great in school, so that was not the issue, but it seemed at the time that the media and every person you met had deep concerns about children spending too much time in front of a screen.
Playing a game is the voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles.

Now, grown men, they excel in their chosen professions. One is a talented film maker who also designed this web site and edits every blog I write, along with helping me on all levels of production and business.
Where others focus on building games based on curriculum and knowledge-based content, we turn entertaining games into opportunities to learn - we call it 'Learnification'

So, when I continued having discussions with Mark and David of KUATO STUDIOS I realized I needed to share their insights with all my viewers. Watch below or CLICK HERE to see the entire conversation with Mark and David about a 21 century tool for education.
