|
Being able to be absorbed in play in the digital playground is motivating for children who are used digital computer
games. The children can play and exercise outdoors while using the same literacy as in indoor digital games. This paper
presents a new playground product where an outdoor playground has been combined with digital games. The playground
was tested in natural surroundings in a school yard and the findings about the interplay between digital and analog play
are described here. Finally balancing in digital and analog games is discussed. |
