TBers,


My apologies for not sending this reminder yesterday. The first Teaching Breakast get together is this morning at 8 am outside Starbucks. I have no drink cards (yet) so please be ready to buy your own coffee this morning. I'll make it up to you - promise!!


I've had a few requests over the years to consider "gaming" or "playing" at a TB meeting. So if you use games or play in your classroom can you share with the group.


I was recently sent this link to an interesting Chronicle article on Ivanhoe, a brand new digital humanities game developed at the Praxis lab at the U. of Va.

Kurt Squire at MIT was an early researcher in this space and wrote some seminal papers on the subject. You can Google search him and find many (when did Google become a verb?). Since these first looks at games in education much has been tried and studied but we've talked little about this area at Teaching Breakfasts.  I love to hear your experiences or of efforts you know about.
