Scaling Up a Video Game-Learning Link Isn't it time we leveled up? By Michael H. Levine & Alan Gershenfeld At an event at the White House in September, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan announced the establishment of the Digital Promise , a nonprofit initiative created to promote digital technologies with the potential to transform teaching and learning. Experts on digital media and learning cheered this latest signal that robust experimentation with technology based on rigorous research and development would take a more prominent place in the national education reform debate. In tandem with the Digital Promise rollout, our organizations-the Joan Ganz Cooney Center and E-Line Media-announced the second year of the National STEM Video Game Challenge . This video-game-design competition is intended to motivate interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, learning among America's young people by tapping into students' natural passion for playing and making video games. Why games? Are video games really a key element of an untapped "digital promise"? We believe the answer is yes. But we are also acutely aware that realizing this promise will take a concentrated effort by dedicated scientists, game designers, teachers, supervisors, educational publishers,...

A space separates words and makes them into individual tags. You might have a look at how your resources are tagged and edit them by clicking on "bookmark" and revising your tags. See also Diigo help for how to tag. You are missing the "setonhall" or setonhall15 tags for this assignment on this post but have it on others so folks can't search for and find your contributions. You might want to make the tags consistent for your own use too as when you do a search for setonhall it won't necessarily find your items tagged setonhallteaching or setonhall15. Consistent tagging will make life easier. See assignment 2 instructions.
