Game Dialogue Transcript: “Everywhere Now: Kids, Games, and Learning”

I just started taking a peek into the transcript of an online dialog about games and learning and it looks very interesting. First, the content interests me about learning - beyond kids, to everyone. Second, you don't see dialog transcripts cleaned up and shared out much any more. In fact, I've noticed a decline in the use of web forums in some of my networks. Finally, I noticed it was a "dialog of experts." What does that mean anymore?

Anyway... this caught my eye. It is part of the MacArthur Foundations new digital learning initiative.

Game Dialogue Transcript: “Everywhere Now: Kids, Games, and Learning”
Sixty experts, three weeks of dialogues, led by “Ecology of Games” MacSeries editor Katie Salen, on the future of kids, games and learning. Check it out…

For three weeks this fall more than sixty experts drawn from the world of game development, design, education, sociology, and media studies came together in a series of online dialogues to discuss and debate the future of kids, games, and learning. The transcript of these conversations reveals a wealth of ideas, references, hopes, fears, misconceptions, and competing pedagogies--the words are raw and unedited and make for a fascinating read.
