ARGNet: Alternate Reality Gaming Network Valve Gives Schools Free Copies Of Portal 2 To Help Teach Physics Continuing on their crusade to be viewed as the most philanthropic, down-to-Earth, easy-going game company on the planet, Valve has taken the next step in being viewed as the Jedi to EA's Sith: they're giving away free copies of Portal 2 and the Portal 2 Puzzle Maker to schools, in order to help teach kids about math and physics. According to a blog post by Aperture Laboratories, it explains what the program is about and how Valve is using the popular physics-based puzzle game to help enlighten students and empower teachers to use video games to help teach kids about the fun and importance of physics in today's and tomorrow's society... We understand that learning is not fulfilled by a one-size-fits-all approach, so we’re engaging with a community of educators, parents and students to create infinite possibilities for learning. The educational version of our Puzzle Maker empowers students and educators to craft unique puzzles, explore worlds, and share custom lesson plans.
Past FDG Conferences | Foundations of Digital Games 2013 FDG 2013 is the 8th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games.

The first of these games, Environmental Detectives (ED), is an outdoor game in which players using GPS guided handheld computers try to uncover the source of a toxic spill by interviewing virtual characters and conducting large scale simulated environmental measurements and analyzing data. This game has been run at three sites, including MIT, a nearby nature center, and a local high school. Early research has shown that this mode of learning is successful in engaging university and secondary school students in large scale environmental engineering studies, and providing an authentic mode of scientific investigation.
Home Serious Play Conference Peer Gynt, une application musicale ludo-éducative | SeriousGame.be La musique est un langage qui raconte une histoire ou un ressenti. Parfois elle est plus apte à le faire que les mots parce qu’elle est vivante et expressive. La nature, par exemple, a été une source d’inspiration pour la musique classique des célèbres compositeurs tels que Jean-Baptiste Lully, Purcell ou encore Vivaldi avec Les Quatre Saisons et bien d’autres encore qui ont marqué leur époque. Je me souviens que, étant jeune, nous avions des cours de musique où je me suis particulièrement sensibilisée avec l’œuvre de Smetana, La Moldau, qui raconte l’histoire de la naissance d’un cours d’eau qui évolue en fleuve. Écouter cette œuvre pour la première fois était une chose, mais découvrir l’histoire qu’elle raconte fut une véritable révolution des sens. Comme pour l’art de la peinture, l’art de la musique recèle de symboliques qui nous font découvrir et comprendre leur sens avec un œil ou une oreille totalement différent pour mieux en apprécier l’œuvre.
