My Madison Keynote Online

It's been a while (dog days of August.) Earlier this month I had a fabulous time in Madison Wisconsin, where I keynoted the 19th Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning. Click Here to see the entire speech online!

I had a great dinner with Jim Gee, author of "What Videogames Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" and caught up with Kurt Squire who is beginning his academic career at Wisconsin - Madison. Congrats, Kurt! and finally met Tom Abeles, the editor of the journal On The Horizon, where I have a regular column. Also among the many people I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time who are doing great things in the learning field were Ann Watts and Julian and Marilyn Lombardi.

I have also posted a new article "Really Good News About Your Children's Video Games" on my site.
