Nintendo Wii and physical activity

I found a related article in today's Sunday Mail. Please find the link below:

While everyone is in agreement as to the benefit of ICTs in the classroom, it seems this topic has raised some debate. I must admit that I am not sure. My son plays the Nintendo Wii Fit every afternoon. It is good to see him refining his sporting skills and co-ordination (in fact he is better at it that I am).

However, he does not spend all day indoors. In fact my children play in their cubbyhouse and sandpit and help with the gardening and washing.
