Earlier this month, the National Research Council's Board on Science Education held a two-day workshop at the National Academy of Sciences in DC to discuss one of my favorite topics: games, simulations and (science) education. Essentially, a host of smart folks gave a series presentations that cumulatively pointed to the conclusion that game-based science education is a fantastic idea. As of this writing, the workshop agenda is still available online, including links to the papers and presentations that defined the workshop. Take a peek!
