Educational Gaming Commons - Press Start

I'm very bummed I missed the annual Games, Learning, and Society Conference earlier this month. However, Chris Stubbs from the EGC attended, and he will be posting his thoughts here.

In the meantime, there's a great post on James Gee's Keynote Speech you might want to read. Gee talks about passion communities that spring up around games, a sort of social community outlet for the motivational forces that inspire people to play games. These communities give people status and power, IMO reinforcing the motivational aspects of games at a new level. Enjoy!
