Some students in a second-year Spanish class at the University of New Mexico have been able to experience learning in a whole new way. They have been able to learn through an educational game called Mentira, which mean lie in Spanish.

 

Students are given iPod Touches and travel 15 minutes from campus to Los Greigos. Once there, they become detectives and have to clear the names of four families accused of conspiring to murder a resident. "When students enter their location into the wireless handheld devices a clue might turn up: a bloody machete, for example, or a virtual character who may converse with them--in Spanish--about a suspect."
