Play@Pyle 2006
To
help foster a community interested in educational simulations and
games, the Engage Faculty Advisory Group invited campus to the 1st Play@Pyle event on November 16th, 2006.
Faculty and staff demonstrated simulations and games they use in
teaching. Campus was invited to join us and help shape Engage's 2007
awards program. Over 100 people attended! Engage may host additional
Play@Pyle dates in the future to encourage continued collaboration
and discussion on this exciting topic! Also, be sure to check out
the CoMETS
special interest group if you're interested in talking with campus
members about simulations and games.
