While working on the project, we had to complete this assignment where we had to categorize our game. One of those categories was edutainment. I had no idea how to even pronounce it or what it was. To find out more, I researched edutainment.
An article on Techopedia defines edutainment as products that combine entertainment with education. Creators of those products are trying to aim towards younger people as their audience for their products. Edutainment can be in different forms such as an auto dashboard, projection screen, or mobile phone. According to Dinner Table MBA, there are five benefits to edutainment. The first benefit is that kids stay engaged which means that they consume more information. The second is that edutainment gives kids the opportunity to have freedom in their learning. The third benefit is that you can learn anywhere at any time. The fourth is that you can learn perseverance through edutainment. The fifth and final benefit is that this type of learning engages and excites kids. Edutainment is exactly what it sounds like. Education and entertainment at the same time. You can have fun while learning and possibly not even be aware that your learning. Edutainment Facts:
