Special thanks to everyone who joined us at LearnCentral last night to discuss plans for our upcoming Teacher Professional Learning Community! It was great to see so many academic subjects and grade levels represented.
If you weren't able to participate in the info session, you can also read more about the PLC right here as well as get in touch with us about your interests in gaming as an educator. We should have the session's recording up very soon.
To follow up on one of the big topics from the evening, we want to highlight our Design Corps program, which is currently accepting applications from students again.
So, if you work with students (13 years and older) who have a strong interest in designing and creating their own computer games, definitely learn more about our plans for the Design Corps, which kicked off in the fall. This spring, the program is entering a new phase focusing on student design teams. We've opened this up to new participants — interested students can apply right here by Friday, January 22, 2010.
What does it take to apply between now and next Friday?
- Teachers can suggest students by emailing us brief recommendations at design.corps [at] learninggamesnetwork.org. (If you're a student, ask a teacher to recommend you.)
- For applicants under 18, we need a parent or guardian to let us know that he or she approves of their participation in the program. They should send a brief email affirming this to, you guessed it, design.corps [at] learninggamesnetwork.org.
- All applicants must tell us a little bit about their interests using the form on this page.
Voilà, you're done! For this new group of students joining the Design Corps, we'll have our first event on Jan 23, 2010. Remember, our events are online, so participants will need reliable access to an internet connection.
Questions? Please send them to design.corps [at] learninggamesnetwork.org.
