437 - Game Change: Real Time Input
March 30, 2007
Learning TRENDS by Elliott Masie - March 30, 2007.
#437 - Updates on Learning, Business & Technology.
53,416 Readers - http://www.masie.com - The MASIE Center.
Host of LMS 2007 - April 12 & 13 - Las Vegas, NV, USA.
Attend a Gathering With Me -- Today!
The first session of a very small and focused meeting has just begun in Toronto, Canada. Game Change is a gathering with 60 diverse folks from corporate, high education and gaming design - "chewing" the issues of how games will (or will not) be a key element in learning.
Convened by John Abele (and co-facilited by me) the group includes folks from KPMG, IBM, Autodesk, Champlain College, GM and thinkers like Tom Malone from MIT's Center for Collective Intelligence.
We have just opened the meeting and we are starting the conversation with talking about the language of "gaming". I'd love your real time input.
Could you send me a message to emasie@masie.com with your thoughts on:
* What are your key questions, thoughts, hopes or worries about "Gaming for Learning?"
* What words or phrases can we use to talk about gaming for learning?
Should we even use the phrase "gaming"?
* How would your organization react to the use of gaming for learning a key skill or competency?
I will input your thoughts into this meeting and send you one more note in the early afternoon.
Yours in learning,
Elliott Masie
