May 17, 2004
From Water Cooler Games (via WWWEDU), an interesting blog in itself, comes coverage of the two-day Education Arcade, a conference at MIT held to discuss the use of games in learning. Some good - and sometimes controversial - content here, such as this, from Brenda Laurel: "Laurel argued that the teaching of hierarchy is the primary function of public education in America -- designed to create an efficient underclass (even if there's not a conspiracy to do so). School trains kids to be good workers and buyers, which is, in Laurel's opinion, bad news." Coverage from Day One and Day Two.
