Games And Virtual Worlds for Education Forum
Technology & Learning On-Line has launched a set of forums on education technology issues. For some odd reason they selected me to moderate the Games and Virtual Worlds Forum. As the graphic shows teaching and learning is about a conversation, so lets get one going over there.
MaestroC got the ball rolling by stating that Second Life is the best platform and that games for education are a fad. Agree, disagree, keep it polite and lets all learn together. See my response on the forum and ad your own!
There is also a quick poll on which kind of game player you are. Several years ago Richard Bartle articulated the four primary styles of game play and a theory about how to balance them. Take the poll and see where you fit with your peers.
Other forums include:
- Student Personal Gadgets
- Free Stuff
- Security
- Digital Storytelling
- Letters to the Editor

Lee,
I posted a response on the techlearning site regarding the Games articles.
They were great.
I'm a high school principal.
Thought I'd better login in case I wish to comment further on other blogs.
Great site.
