Hello,
I am a researcher who investigates the issues related to learning and games. Currently, also developed electronic games geared to the educational scene.
I wonder if there is the possibility of receiving free one of the games developed for you to be used in Salvador – Bahia with our students in undergraduate and graduate.
A little of our work can be seen in the URL http://www.comunidadesvirtuais.pro.br / triad
I await the return of you.
thanks

‘Designed to be tested not distributed.’

What a facile understanding of what the internet can do for this project. Put some kind of educational GNU license on them and let people use them.

The logic of not distributing a game to people that helps people learn is bizarre. Unless, of course, there is a profit motive involved.

I am working with a at-risk youth in an alternative secondary school near Vancouver, BC, Canada. I am exploring how to incorporate web-based resources into our curricula to improve student engagement — i.e. to get my kids to turn off their devices and tune into their schoolwork. I would love to be part of this project — so would my students!

I am an Instructional Technology Specialist and very interested in epistemic gaming for middle school students. I would love to find out more about these types of games/simulations as they are developed.

I’m coming to Madison in the fall for a semester. I would like to take your Human Learning course. I’m very interested in the intersection between brain research and human learning and games.

Dear Dr. Williamson
I enjoyed your book so much.
I recently began my PhD. in Valencia Spain. My work is on interactivity and education in museums, and your project gave important information. Is there any chance I could integrate your team of researchers, I would love to contribute and learn.
hope we can get these games someday, please let me know when they are available,
congratulations and thanks in advance,
xochitl

Another homeschooling parent checking in. I came here hoping to find out how to purchase the games, but see they are not available yet. I can’t wait until they are!

My son is only 7, so hopefully, by the time he’s old enough to participate in these games (they seem geared more toward older kids), access to them will be easier.

Please keeping working toward that goal, games such as these are much needed, especially for those who are willing to think and teach outside of the box!
