SIAA Paper

From Tim Holt on the listserv today ...

The SIIA (Software & Information Industry Association) has a paper out titled "Best Practices For Using Games & Simulations In The Classroom: Guides for K-12 Educators" which you can access on their website.

Here's a bit from the executive summary...

"We start from an assumption that games have positive impacts and our objective is to support the growth of this promising and emerging market. We have distilled the hard–won lessons from the schools and companies that have pioneered this space in order to provide guidelines to new users.

This paper is intended for teachers, administrators, policy makers and developer companies. They will get practical hands–on tips and insights on successfully integrating games into classroom practice."
