Description: In response to the feedback from our first Web Event with Steve in October, The Learning Games Network is developing a series of events on using games in the classroom as learning tools. This first event after the broad overview will look at Caduceus, an online learning game built as part of Children's Hospital Boston's "Generation Cures" initiative. Teacher support materials are now available, and can provide a case example for how lesson plans and learning activities can be drawn from gaming. For teachers in the Boston area, a live supplemental event will be taking place on Saturday, November 14th. More details on this event, Caduceus, and Generation Cures in general are available at http://www.generationcures.org/media/other/GC-InTheClassroom.pdf .
