Dataspel i skolan…efter att ha varit på Skolforum och sett den dåliga uppslutningen vill jag informera om ännu en chans för er lärare och även andra instresserade. Den 2 december i Odense pågår denna konferens ”Computerspil i skolan”.

För mer information kan ni gå in på hemsidan om konferensen. Ni kan även läsa mer om vad som händer i Danmark när det gäller spel i skolan.

På skolforum lyssnade jag även på en intressant föreläsning med Caroline Kearney från European Schoolnet. Läs mer om rapporten hon har varit med om att ta fram. Den beskriver hur spel används i skolan runt om i skolan. Mycket intressant.

Call for papers till Game Education Summit i Köpenhamn.

En tvådagarskonferens för alla spelutbildningar i Europa. Läs mer på hemsidan.

Kolla upp det och sänd in era papers. Jag vet att ni är många som har mycket bra tat dela med er av.

Is there someone out there who could give classes in XNA?

Someone with a proven experience with XNA and C#, as well as a with other relevant frameworks such as Visual Studio.  You need to be able to teach a course on game programming using XNA, that means that you have to be able to teach from the essentials of the language (but not the language itself), as well as structure a course that teaches the fundamentals of XNA game programming, as well as some advanced topics. The fundamentals would be setting up the environment, but also graphics, physics, collision detection, networking, content pipeline, and exporting to the Xbox.

It will be about 198 hours in total per semester.

If you think this is you…contact me.
