    "I'd like to talk a bit about why I like the game and offer a few suggestions for educators looking for a meaningful way into your own learning. I'm going to call this: forget about the teaching part and just play = say goodbye to an evening or more, get lost a lot, die, make stuff, break stuff, repeat. I'm going to call my gaming pedagogy: noobing it up! "

  • With educators finally embracing electronic games as a legitimate context for learning, there are a lot of questions and some debate about how to situate games in school. 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.
