Hi Linda,

Could you send this email out on the education list serves? The wider we

Dear Potential Volunteers,

April 10th, the Patton College of Education will be hosting the Playful
Learning Summit - a one day conference on games and education.  As part of
the conference we will be hosting the Playful Learning Arcade where
teachers can come to learn more about video games that can be used in their
subject area.

To do this we are seeking volunteers.  The arcade will feature games for
math, science, history, social studies, language arts and after school
clubs.  For each of these areas we will be showing three to five games
teachers can integrate into classroom practice.

The role of the volunteers will be to be familiarize themselves with these
games and serve as advisers to talk with teachers about the games and how
they can be used in the classroom.  Think the Apple Genius Bar for teaching
and gaming.  Part of the duties of the volunteers will be to play these
games ahead of the conference and then during their volunteer time slot be
in the arcade to discuss them with teachers.

If you'd like to help but are intimidated about learning some new games, we
will be hosting training session where you can sit with a gamer and learn
the ropes.

If you are interested in working as a volunteer please contact Jeff Kuhn at
jkuhn72 at gmail.com with the subject line: Playful Learning Arcade
