ItzaBitza—Microsoft's new learning game for kids




Microsoft (and Sabi games) has made an interesting game that teaches kids reading comprehension as they play the game. This game utilizes multi-touch interfaces like tablet PCs.

The story in the game evolves as the kids use their fingers or a stylus to draw things like houses and other things to crack puzzles and win challenges. The interesting part is the "Living Ink" technology used in the game that recognizes the shapes and that objects that the kids draw and makes them into a part of the game.

This way the young players are constantly playing and creating a unique game experience for themselves.

Here are some links where you can see a little more of how this game works:
