I have been increasingly involved in helping the K-12 space move into digital game-based learning. Several recent projects:
1. PROJECT INKWELL. I am on the steering committee of this groups, created by Mark Anderson, to bring major hardware manufacturers together to create a common minimum, evolving spec for an "education computer,," in order to accelerate the move to one child one computer in schools.
2. HIDDEN AGENDA. I am on the board of this groundbreaking contest, sponsored by the Liemandt Foundation, in which teams college students create learning games for middle schoolers. This first content has 17 entries and a $25,000 first prize. See www.hiddenagenda.com
3. VIRTUAL SCHOOLS. I gave a keynote addgress on games and learning at the Virtual Schools conference earlier this year, and am working with the Los Angeles Virtual School Project. We are looking especially at the moment for games that teach algebra. If you know of any good ones, please contact me at marc@games2train.com.
