Short Description: No short description provided

Detail Description: In late January the Learning Games Network will be launching a Professional Learning Community specifically for teachers interested in further exploring the possibilities involved in using learning games as educational tools, and/or in developing games of their own for educational purposes.
The next installment of our ongoing Learning Games series will be an opportunity to join in a discussion with teachers already interested in the Learning Games PLC to help us best chart the course for this community, provide insight and feedback on what we have planned, and find out more about what the program has in store.
Our current vision for the PLC involves opportunities for teachers to share past experiences and insights on games they may have already brought into the classroom; brainstorming sessions to propose games that might meet or supplement existing gaps or niches in curricula; testing opportunities to try out and offer feedback on learning games currently being developed but not yet released; and workshops and webinars—potentially with continuing development credits—on designing and developing games of their own, presented by luminaries within the field of game design and production. We also envision linking our teacher PLC with our existing Student Design Corps to offer added opportunities for teachers and students to explore this evolving field.
We invite you to join us, explore the possibilities, and help map the future of this exciting community!

Learning Games Network is very good idea for children to play have fun and at the same time learn, without being addict for games, launching a Professional Learning Community for teachers interested in using learning games as educational tools, in developing games of their own for educational purposes.
