I just finished my first year as a teacher, and have been teaching 12th graders in a vocational school. I'v been a substitute in welding classes, norwegian and english classes. I'v also been teaching a group of kids in digital litteracy (http://ikt-valgfag.blogspot.com).
Hopefully I will get a job as a teacher this year, and as times go by I will be able to use lots of technology in my classroom - also games.

I joined in here to learn, but sorry, I haven't much to share yet :O) Right now I'm looking forward to a summer break so that I can - in peace and quiet - do a little research on games and all the wath's and how's you guys do.

Can't wait!

Yes...Norway is not that far! Can I ask a bit more about your work? What age range do you teach and in what ways are you using serious games with your pupils?

Very interesting what you do in Scotland. Nice to have someone from Europe, and pretty close to Norway as a friend :O)
