  Another Opportunity to Tune In

On July 28, Next Generation Learning Challenges hosted a lightning round 
with Open Study 
<http://educause.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjc5ODY4JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDAwNDM1MDYmbGk9NzYwODgyMg/index.html>, 
Carnegie Learning 
<http://educause.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjc5ODY4JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDAwNDM1MDYmbGk9NzYwODgyMw/index.html>, 
and SimSchool 
<http://educause.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjc5ODY4JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDAwNDM1MDYmbGk9NzYwODgyNA/index.html> 
- three pioneers in the field of interactive learning - on "Games and 
Social Networks as Next Generation Learning Experiences." Due to 
technical difficulties, we were unable to capture an archive of the 
session and many attendees were unable to connect to the audio for the 
session. With that in mind, NGLC will offer a repeat of the webinar on 
August 8. Tune in to hear more about how these recent NGLC grantees are 
leveraging elements of games and social networking environments to 
promote content mastery, collaboration, and critical thinking.

Topic: Gaming and Social Networks as Next Generation Learning Experiences
Speakers: David Gibson, SimSchool; Chris Sprague, OpenStudy; and Steve 
Ritter, Carnegie Learning
Date: Monday, August 8, 2011
Time: 1:00 p.m. ET (12:00 p.m. CT, 11:00 a.m. MT, 10:00 a.m. PT)

The web seminar is free and open to all, but virtual seats are limited. 
Attendance is first come, first served. The session will be recorded and 
archived for later viewing.


    How to Join

The web seminar will be hosted inside the NGLC Adobe Connect 
webconferencing room 
<http://educause.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT0xNjc5ODY4JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDAwNDM1MDYmbGk9NzYwODgyNQ/index.html>. 
To join, simply enter the URL and select "Enter as a Guest," type in 
your name and affiliation (e.g., John Doe, American High School), and 
click "Enter Room."

Once inside the room, audio will be provided through your computer 
speakers and presentation slides will advance on your screen. You can 
interact with fellow attendees and presenters using the chat feature 
inside the room.

Today's web seminar is free and open to all, but virtual seats are 
limited. Attendance is first come, first served. Each session will be 
recorded and archived for later viewing.
