Game based Learning in Education
This wiki was created following the Hard Play: Digital Game Based Learning and Information Literacy seminar at the University of Calgary's 2007 Faculty Technology Days put on by Chris Thomas and Jerremie Clyde.

The idea of having a place to discuss, recommend, and talk about using game-based learning in the class here at the U of C was brought up. So this wiki was created to create a place to link websites/blogs about education and gaming as well as add you're thoughts/ideas/recommendations.


 * There was Second Life WorldWide Conference on May 25th which had online workshops dealing with gaming and education. (A good opportunity to learn about using Second Life in an educational setting.) Check out Second Life Education Wiki for more information about SL and Education.
 * Here's a Globe and Mail article, July 16/07, about how big business is using SL to recruit employees.


 * Here are some educational gaming online bookmarks referring to the websites mentioned at the seminar.


 * An article on U of C PhD candidate Katrin Becker on the role for video games in the classroom., Nov/06 On Campus. There is also a presentation Katrin did in Jan/07 called "The Current State in the Art of Education" which is available to listen to via TERA Meeting Area Blackboard site (contact TERA - Teaching Enhanced Resource Centre, Faculty of Education - to find out how to access the presentation: tera@ucalgary.ca)

Feel free to add to this wiki.
