    Nice twist from J.Shelton (Dept. of Ed). It's not that we're falling behind; rather, other countries are passing us by. #g4c2011

    We have had the luxury of assuming that ed. spending would go up every year... and that's not true anymore. #g4c2011

    We have to do more with at least the same resources, if not less... for MORE people. #g4c2011

    People learn to code because they want to build things. The computer science is an ends to a means. DOE approach is backwards. #G4C2011

    That's a good Q - How do you evaluate projects that include games?<particularly since many of the evaluators don't *get* games #g4c2011

    Sec. Shelton at #G4C2011 says question about gamification in education is not whether it will happen but how to sort quality.
