Are you Game? Elluminate Session: "Teaching with Online Games" on Dec. 11

Kristen Georgine brought this opportunity to us from the Coloraod Adult Ed Network (Leecy Wise). I've seen David Gibson present before in Second Life--he is well known for immersive learning and this session is "Teaching with Online Games." You may also want to share this opportunity with students in your courses to see what they think. Thanks, Kristen!

Can a computer game or simulation improve your knowledge and skill as a
teacher?

Find out at the upcoming FREE webinar, "Teaching with Online Games," presented by Dr. David Gibson. Join Elluminate on Thursday, December 11, at 1 PM EST, when Dr. Gibson will explain why digital games and simulation are powerful teaching and learning tools.

A Research Assistant Professor in the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Vermont and Executive Director of The Global Challenge, Dr. Gibson is the author of "Digital Simulations to Improve Education," in which he explores a variety of perspectives.
