This week we continue thinking about how games can impact learning, although we are expanding our ideas to include online games in which large numbers of people play.

Minute Papers

Complete your Alice game.

Make sure you have given feedback to at least one person on their Google Doc project ideas.

=**Preparation for next week:**= We will schedule a time to meet synchronously next week using GoToMeeting so everyone can show their games. I will use Doodle, an online scheduling tool to set up a time we can all meet online.

How to Share your Availability
Here is the link to the scheduler: [|Doodle] Please check all times that you can be available for this meeting, even it is not totally convenient to you. We are all busy people, and this can be challenging, so make it as easy as you can for all of us.

In the meantime, please check out [|GoToMeeting] so you will have some familiarity with the tool. You do not need to download anything yet, unless you want to try the free 30 day trial.

**Here's what you will need**:

 * Headphones with a built-in microphone.** This is essential because the feedback is terrible when multiple people try to use their built-in headphones and microphone. You must use headphones with built-in microphone for this meeting.

Plan to download the free software (there will be a link in the GoToMeeting (GTM) invitation that you will receive by gmail for this) about 15 minutes ahead of the meeting time. This gives you time to test your headphones and microphone before the meeting begins. This is an incredibly important skill--so many people have bad experiences because they do not take the time to prepare.

Remember to wear your technology integration hat here as well as your learner hat: think about how GTM could be support certain types of learning experiences.

=Final Project Information= I have posted the Final Project document--please note that there is a due date of Oct. 25th for phase two of the project. Please read the information carefully. || Due Dates Oct. 3rd ||
