The entire Content Generator lineup, but especially the "On Target" demo, works fantastic with a Wii Remote paired to your computer.

This is great to know and not something I've tried. Also, if you hook a Wii up to the Internet, you would be able to access any of the generated games via the Flash player embedded within the Wii.

Thanks for letting me know this - I will produce a finished version as rapidly as I can find time.

I made a quick video of me using the wiimote with On Target and posted it over at youtube.

Love the games and Happy Holidays.

Fantastic - thank you so much for sharing. That is absolutely brilliant - great to see the resource being used in this way.

Finally, good news on the job front for me due in part to Content Generator and On Target. Budget cuts eliminated my position as a K-6 computer instructor a year ago.

I've just been hired to a full time educational position (teaching and other duties) in a science center/planetarium and historical museum, and I used my work with the wiimote and On Target in the interview. Finding the right position is not a small accomplishment in Flint, Michigan. Believe it or not, Flint has a pretty nice cultural center relating back to the days of GM and C.S. Mott. The first week has been fantastic-fun, creative people doing fun, creative things.

Thank you Andrew.

That's a great way for kids to learn.
