Quick update: GLS 2007 - Fun and Learning
I caught the following scene on my camera as an example of one form of learning at the GLS 2007 conference:
While this might not seem as thought provoking as the symposium by Henry Jenkins (btw if you have not seen the video library being created by the NML folks, it is worth spending some quality time to explore), the conversations that ensued by the participants in this video was every bit as rich as the questions asked in the more traditional lecture format. Being able to see top researchers in education in one room and duke it out as a Wii Boxer in another has created an interesting learning environment.
With close to 400 attendees, this is not a small gathering but the events and space are designed to create a sense of inclusiveness for the wide variety of participants.
