In addition to figuring out the place of gaming in school, I’m interested in exploring the ways gaming and gamers transgress the limitations of institutional/formal learning and what we can learn from authentic gaming cultures and contexts outside of school – as a key to learning with games but also the very future of education.

As an educator, I am more interested in gaming as assessment. I would love to see students perform at their best within the competitive gaming environment and at the same time, have some clever software to tag and classify their abilities. If the software can be written to assess that experience, I would be a happy teacher.
