Day 4. ” So… what questions should we be asking”
On the last and final day of the conference people had the typical conference way about them. Lots of networking done, some connections still needing to be made, and most importantly the feeling that you were so glad to have attended but, excited for a chance to rest and digest.
The focus of day four was really about capturing the collective brain power in the room and to identify they types questions that we as researchers need to be asking. Specifically, discussions in the afternoon sought to address the types of cognitive skills and content areas we would like to see targeted, research methodologies that should be considered, collaborations to seek out, formal and informal settings for games and learning, and special populations
Presenters for the day included Alex Quinn and K. Anders Ericcson.

Day 3: “Transfer or not to transfer?”
As Susan Barnett opened her presentation she asked in her spirited voice, “So Why the debate?”, “What counts as transfer?” and “Does it only count if it’s spontaneous?” Thanks for the food for thought Susan. Day 3 provided discussion and focus concerning the type of transfer that occurs when students play video games and how knowledge and skills can translate to classroom learning. Presenters included, Susan Barnett, Fran Blumberg, Mike Edwards, C. Shawn Green, David Klahr, and Corinne Zimmerman. Slides Below...

Day 2 : “What if Vygotskiy played video games?”
The guiding question for day two included “What formal features promote learning during video game play? And “How is that learning influenced by factors intrinsic to the child/adolescent?” Day to included presentations from Sandra Calvert, Douglas Gentile, Shelly Pasnik, and John Sherry. All presentations were amazing and among the many enlightening things that were said, one specific quote has continued to take up some valuable cognitive space sense the day wrapped. Today’s quote of the day comes from John Sherry In reference to scaffolding in/with games and game mechanics. John Sherry remarked “what would Vygotskiy say if he played video games?” Feel free to contemplate while perusing the slides below…

Day 1: Transfer across multiple systems and Game Design
I guess you know your in the right place when after the 3rd presenter your heart rate is still elevated and you’ve started filling that upper part of your note pad with your own ideas because the speakers have been influeincing your thoughts. Translation: the speakers for day 1 arrived and with some minor technical diffuclties…they delivered. After day 1, conversations among participaints continued after they had officially wrapped and although some participaints and S2S staff complained of that all to familiar brain swelling that occurs after a few rounds of strenuous thinking, there seemed to be two themes that emerged. The first and probably most obvious was that of transfer. Be it near or far transfere could be found in many of the conversations during the disccusion time on day 1. The second of these and arguably a concept that is intertwined, was that of considering systems levels approaches and using multiple midiums to not only reinforce but, in some cases set the stage for future learning. Not to be left out was our lone game designer whose very important comments about the "sloppy" use of the word fun in game design and also being aware of the natural learning that occurs in games did not go unheard. Check out a few of the power points below...more to come as we receive them...
