Games based learning

Had a few interesting days considering use of Second Life to attend virtual ICT education conferences. Only problem was that 'SL' time- which is the same as Pacific Time is eight hours behind us. I have not been motivated yet to get up at 3 in the morning to find out what is happening.
On the subject of games based learning I had the pleasure of hearing Dawn Halleybone at ESIS talking about the use of games consoles in the classroom. Her blog is an inspiration.

I am going to set up a Wii based project using the 'Endless Ocean' software in one of my schools: should be interesting.
