I don't particularly like the term "emotional intelligence" but I do like the concept. So I am encouraged to see work like this, which explicitly documents the use of instructional technology to promote a child's emotional well being. Now I've seen how people are able to learn how to handle social situations and try on various personals in multi-user environments. But this takes it a level further: a child's emoptional state is directly related to the display in front of them. "They get really excited when they're able to control their emotions to the point where they are able to turn the black and white forest scene into a beautiful, thriving meadow. It offers something outside of themselves to help them assess what's going on inside. That's very valuable."
