[Itech] Game Day on Thursday night at 6:00 pm

[Teresa Franklin]

Dear IT Graduates,

As many of you know, I am involved in a National Science Foundation GK-12
grant that is examining the use of virtual-world-based games to teach
standards-based science concepts to middle school students in Appalachia.
On Thursday evening at 6:00pm, my grant team will host the first of several
opportunities to see the games developed and to offer critique and comments
or questions.

This link will take you to the announcement that is being sent campus wide.

I hope some of you will be able to attend and see the work concerning
virtual learning environments as this is a very "ripe" field for research
concerning cognition and education.  The presentation will be approximately
1 hour.

Dr. Teresa Franklin
