The Ruthless Diastema Games BlogCast is both a celebration and an exploration of GAMING.

A public school teacher interested in using games and game elements in the CLASSROOM, I am also equally interested in what games can teach us and how they teach us in and OUT OF THE SCHOOL CONTEXT. We can teach AND learn from games, surely.

Networking with others with similar interests is super-duper-duper important to me, so join the discussion. I fancy myself the FOREVERNEWB, THE SUPERFAN, THE CURIOUS ONE. There is no expertise here unless we count my open profession of passion and wonder and my preaching about the importance of experimentation and lifelong learning.

I love ALL kinds of games but, truth be told, I have a soft soft for story games and games created by independent designers.

My long-term goals for this venture include the following biggies:

• Offering free teacher guides that show how to use awesome games in school
• Arranging and joining gaming convention panels about gaming and learning
• Providing and encouraging professional development for teachers about using games for learning
• Working toward a TeacherCon, a gaming convention for teachers and other learners
