Summary of a talk by James Paul Gee in which he points to some failures of the U.S. educational system and asserts that "the solution to these crises is in our face: it’s popular culture and games; this is where it’s getting solved, not in our schools." Also interesting is this point raised by a questioner: "one way of thinking about schools is that school is a game, too. certain ways of thinking, certain things across each area, certain identities – it’s just not a good game." More coverage from the GLS03 conference includes Cory Ondrejka on user creation and David Squire on games, learning and identity.
