I enjoyed your presentation and have a great interest in using gaming as a learning tool in my classroom. I liked your comment about the inability of leaders to move forward and be visionaries. I think the future of education will incorporate games such as the Sims or Second Life. You mention that up to 97% of our high school age students play video games - I think this topic is very relevant for education today!

Hi Kaija,

I'm glad I had an opportunity to view your video. What an engaging presentation it was! I especially liked the embedded game trailers such as "Civilization" and "World of Warcraft." I was wondering as I watched the trailers how those types of games could be used in educational technology, then you responded to that in your segment on the "Future of Educational Gaming." Your conclusion in the form of a question - "Gaming is not a crime, so why do we act like it is?" - begs to be answered. Do you have an answer to that question?

Very good presentation; I'm glad you were able to make it accessible.
