Next Meeting February 21st, 2007!
For our next meeting, scheduled for February 21st at 7pm at the Casbah Restaurant, we welcome Professor James Paul Gee of UW—Madison. Professor Gee is the Tashia Morgridge Chair in Reading in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, and he has been a great source of insight in regards to the subjects of videogames as educational tools. This man doesn't spend his time on the latest and greatest Math Munchers, however. His studies include primarily Triple-A, top-selling games and the tools they employ to teach and challenge their players. While researching Professor Gee’s work, I ran across a great interview by Louis Bedigian, which gives great insight into Professor Gee’s research and perspective. If you plan to attend this meeting (and I hope you all do), please RSVP to igdamadison@hotmail.com.
