"Playing to Learn: Tales from the Trenches"

In 2003, while speaking at the University of Southern California’s Teaching, Learning & Technology conference, I noticed more than a few visibly uncomfortable educators in the audience. I had recently completed my Master’s thesis on using massively multiplayer online games (MMOs) as online distance learning applications—and I was providing a summary of my findings.

I'm Sorry Jeannie, when I first went on to this networking site, I assumed that you were automatically my friend like "Tom" on Myspace...LOL XoD
I just sent you a friend invite. If you would be so gracious as to accept it, I would be kindly flattered. You know I gotta have the lady that inspired me to start my company as a friend. ;o)
And whats the contest about? You just want a screen Icon of some kind to represent something that will be "hot" in 2010? 64x64 pix, under 10 KB?
And this icon will be appear on the list of Gifts you can attach to a message?
I could have one of my art guys throw something together for fun... you could give the gift card to charity or something if my guys win...
