1. A method of educating comprising:
- prompting a person to engage in body core movement which elevates the person'"'"'s metabolic rate; and
prompting the person to engage in a cognitive academic learning task while the person'"'"'s metabolic rate is elevated, wherein the prompting to engage in a cognitive academic learning task includes displaying a view of a virtual space, and wherein the promoting to engage in body core movement and the prompting to engage in a cognitive academic learning task both include promoting the person to engage in a body core movement cognitive academic learning task.

Abstract
An interactive educational system includes a tracking system for determining changes in an overall physical location of a student, and a display for displaying cues for the student to engage in full-body motion and to engage in an interactive cognitive learning task. An educational method includes prompting a student to engage in an interactive cognitive learning task which involves full body motion, thereby enabling the student to reach the enhanced learning state which results from elevated metabolic rate, and synergistically engaging the student'"'"'s kinesthetic learning facilities.

12. An interactive education system comprising:
-
a continuous tracking system for determining changes in an overall physical location of a person, in a defined physical space; and
a computer operatively coupled to the tracking system for updating in real time a virtual location in a virtual space corresponding to the physical location of the person in the physical space, and for updating a view of the virtual space, wherein the view includes cognitive academic learning material; and
wherein the tracking system and the computer provide an interactive academic educational challenge wherein movement of the body core of the person in the physical space causes manipulation of objects in the virtual space. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
