Special education students in 85 schools across Nebraska, including 17 in the northeast corner of the state, began utilizing the Wii Fit video games in January as part of a study to reduce child obesity. Each received a Wii Fit and components. A PlayStation 2 outfitted with the Dance Dance Revolution game and components was also part of the grant for middle school PE classes.

The video games, all of which require students to get up and be active, put a fun twist on traditional physical education classes and utilize technology that students are familiar with and enjoy.
