G4LI presents Will Wright’s “Why Games are Good for Learning” discussion on Feb. 17
Does anyone live in New York and want to catch a presentation from Will Wright? Tickets are available – free of charge – for his discussion “Why Games are Good for Learning” at the New York University on February 17, 2010. His hour long presentation will end up covering The Sims, Spore, SimCity and possibly what he is currently working on at his Stupid Fun Club company. You can RSVP tickets at tickets@g4li.org. For those of us that cannot make it, I believe there will be a live webstream available. I’ll try to find out more information when the event gets closer.

I'm a hip old granny who can hip-hop, bebop, dance til ya drop and yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa....actually, I think that's Mrs. Doubtfire. Nothing spectacular about myself - I'm the webmaster of this site. Just your ordinary average nerd who loves EA/Maxis Sim games, Ghostbusters, Doctor Who, Back to the Future along with a slight touch of redneck-ness by raising/owning mules and a Dukes of Hazzard fan. Hee-haw and yee-haw :)

@Thomas: I sent it from my school email, so my name is automatically in it, but I wrote that I wanted to reserve a ticket (you are allowed max two) for the event. Seriously, that’s all I wrote.
Not 5 seconds later, I got an email (auto)response back and it said it was reserved. I’m assuming under my email and/or name, and that I have to pick it up at the front before the event.
@Jud: While I do live in NY (long island to be exact), I’m actually in NJ for school, but my school is right next to a train station so I can catch a ride that’ll get me there about on time.
I’m just so excited because it’s free and I can’t wait to bring it up in my music ed classes!!! …
….. I’m such a video-game-music-teaching-nerd

Sigh I do that all the time! And I think I’m a fan as well :P I don’t understand…I usually catch myself when I make that mistake, but I’ve been repeating the same mistake over and over. Just the other day I wrote “your” when I meant to say “you’re”. Stupid grammar :P

You are going to be the coolest teacher at your school!
Hope your students are well-educated on who Will Wright is!

well, i’m aiming to teach the little-littles….early elementary music, so i’m hoping many if not all will wait a little on the gaming…
…but if they are like me who started early (I have this amazing picture of me at like 4-5 years old playing old-school gameboy), then I just go with it, work with it, i’ll find a way

That problem never seems to greet me, although if it hadn’t i don’t have enough people on my website to tell me: Watch that “Their” “There” word!

just got back from the talk. If you can go, I highly recommend it!!! Even if you are not as geek or tech savy ( both of which I am not) it is relevant and very fun.
