More on the GDCSE Conference

So I'm still way behind on blogging to say nothing of my email. I spent the last day as a vacation day with my father who I don't see often enough. I've also been fixing his computer, showing how to use his new GPS device, and setting up his DVD player. It's been time well spent and of course the best part has been spending some time with him. I did run into two people who have had time to blog about the Game Development in Computer Science Education conference though and thought that the least I could do was send people their way.

Mark Guzdial of Georgia Tech was there and took part in a number of presentations. His write up is here. He gives a good picture of how intense a conference like this really is. It is pretty unique to run an academic computer conference on a cruise ship but it is also a very effective venue.

Kathleen Weaver is a high school teacher from Dallas TX who was also there. Kathleen talks about "drinking the Kool-aid" and liking it. And playing Xbox games in the evening. Work hard, play hard!

Addition: Barb Ericson (from Georgia Tech and a board member of the CSTA) has a nice summary here.

I will have more to say soon. Really I will.
