Knowledge, Learning, Community
So there was a SXSW Edu stream in Austin while we were in New Delhi, and reporting from the front row Alan Levine says there was only one non-meh session at it, Jane McGonigal’s 'Learning is an Epic Win', on the topic of games in learning. The post includes slides and a 48-minute hand-held video of reasonable quality (not great quality, though). Best line from the slides (from Slideshare, which is manifestly not broken): "The opposite of 'play' isn't 'work', it's 'depression'."
