Hi,
This conference may be of interest to some of you.
------
Tickets are still available for the second Irish Symposium on
Game-Based Learning (iGBL2012) and registration has been extended to
Tuesday 5th June 2012!
This one-day event will be held in Waterford Institute of Technology
on Thursday 7th June 2012, and bring together teachers, students and
researchers with an interest in the educational potential of games.
This conference will be a great opportunity to learn more about the
different educational applications of video games, and network with
other like-minded researchers and practitioners.
This year, we are delighted to welcome Derek Robertson (Learning and
Teaching Scotland, National Adviser for Emerging Technologies and
Learning) as our keynote speaker. Derek has an impressing experience
in innovative teaching. He has done significant work in the area of
Game-Based Learning, and given several inspirational keynotes on how
to engage students in the classroom through games. Derek Robertson’s
career in education has seen him work as a primary school teacher, a
staff tutor in a council education department, a lecturer on the
B.ED(P) and PGDE(P) teacher preparation courses at the University of
Dundee and now as National Adviser for Emerging Technologies and
Learning at Learning and Teaching Scotland. In his current position,
he leads the team responsible for exploring and developing the
effective uses of computer games to enhance teaching, learning and
assessment approaches that underpin Scotland’s new curriculum:
Curriculum for Excellence.
In addition, the symposium will include more than 20 presentations
from national and international experts in a wide range of areas
including: virtual worlds in the classroom, using chess to improve
cognitive skills and confidence, e-Poetry, games to improve mental
health, Instructional design patterns, adaptive learning strategies,
GBL start-ups, Scratch & Kinect, Gamification, Alternative Reality
Games (ARGs), Role-Playing Games (RPGs), games for health care, or
games to teach people with intellectual disabilities.
