Context -- I finally got DDR for my birthday! I have wanted this game since I first played in last May. I know I am old, but it was a fun way to exercise. My kids got it for me. I guess that's ironic. They had to purchase a PS2 so I could play it. This is my first foray into "gameland" but I don't think it will be the last. I played Rock Band last night and may get it for my husband's birthday so I can play it too. We really had fun as a family. I am happy to see the popularity of this type of game. The Wii has many more physically active games that my stepson played and they can actually help you to play better tennis and golf. I have been really concerned about the effects of video violence on my children, but luckily their desire to WOW was short-lived and they are more interested in rockin' out to the oldies.
How I would use it -- I have no idea!

I think your effort to connect to something your students exposed you to is use. Beyond the classroom I think that you might use it for research. For example your idea about the new physical aspects of gaming is very interesting. You might consider thinking of a unit or an article that could be written about this.
