If you plan to submit your portfolio for Spring 2013, the official deadline is May 13, 2013 (although there is some flexibility as needed). Please contact your TWT Coordinator if you plan to submit a portfolio so a review can be scheduled.

Good luck as always.

Registration is now open for the Educational Gaming Commons' Second Annual GameDay event. Join us on Tuesday May 7th @ the University Park Knowledge Commons (University Libraries) for an exciting day of all things Educational Gaming at Penn State. For more information or to sign up for this free event, visit the GameDay 2013 page at http://gaming.psu.edu/gameday/.

This is a free event which explores educational gaming and the new trend of educational badges. This is a great way to recharge after the spring semester.
