Why do you think Games based learning is 'Needed' in schools today? This can be broad and conceptual or/and include academic level research. I do have my ideas but I am interested in how other stakeholders see this question. Thank you. Joel

About My Involvement With Serious Games:

ARGuing will help teachers use the Internet ( see Web 2.0) within language education. The project is funded by the European Union within the Socrates education programme.

ARGuing will build an educational methodology and teacher training guides and courses that can be used by teachers and teacher trainers to learn and understand how they can use the Internet, in a similar way to how their students are already using technology.

Founder and Executive Director of the Kindersite Project.

Congratulations, excellent project, very important I think.

We are collecting data and doing research with an academic team about learning games. I think this is all too rare (well enough funded games with academic participation.) I can understand why good data might be hard to find.

If Dr. Szturm and I can help, please let me know. Contact through http://www.universalaccessgames.com or leedoerksen@gmail.com.

Cheers

We are a group of teacher, teaching in a junior high school in the suburbs of Paris. We are interested by serious games to teach. We created a few months ago a workshop with students to experiment video games to teach. We founded a group on facebook to collect advice from researchers.

Very recently we proposed our collaboration for your project by filling the webform on http://arg.paisley.ac.uk/index.php
