Brain Development, Learning and LILA

First, there is tremendous scientific evidence regarding multiple intelligences, particularly J.P. Guilford's The Structure of Intellect.
Multiple 'styles' of learning, individualized learning are both indicated in digital game based learning.

Digital Game-Based Bio-Engineering

Indeed, this is an example at the high end of something that could be called game based research, development, engineering.

Howard Gardner - Multiple Intellligences

What, nobody heard of J.P. Guilford, author of The Structure of Intellect?

Design is very important...

I want to have this sensibility infuse LILA.

Central Park Might Like KidWiki

Kidwiki, my new name for an idea I had in 1992 and demo/tested on my 8 month-old, Justin, now almost 18. More about that later, cause I'm thinking it might make a great iPhone App...

Please email me quickly if you want to help develop it!

LILA on Twitter

Ok, I guess this already seems like a no-brainer, like why didn't I think of this before...

If peeps are tweetin, then their words are certainly available for LILA to assess. Everyone's words. The implications are staggering! Even overwhelming for me, which is saying something.

Please someone give me money.

A List of People Trying to Help Improve Learning

Wish I could upload LILA to all of them right now!

In game browser based chat/how does this compare with Playxpert?

I don't understand the difference in the technologies, bu t I can't help but think that Playxpert would be a better choice. Anyone?

Emsense - Brave New World

I need you guys to validate my theoretical application of The Regime of Competence in LILA.

Or, maybe we could partner...

This is too scary real; must read the book...

I have/am experiencing this up close and personal. The whole review makes sense. So, I gotta get some real time at a bookstore, since I have been shunted into the penniless and powerless...for now.

Top 10 MMO's is the answer for the question: What industries are making money right now?

Not a surprise, really. I'm guessing most people would think, well, escape is popular when things are bad. But I think that's totally wrong. What's more meaningful than being able to engage so many of your faculties with so little allocation of resources than MMO's. What's a more efficient use of resources?

And the big ugly secret of education is that MMO's are the best way to learn almost anything. And with tools to expand and assess their use, almost can become everything.

$ For Education Technology - Now is the time!

If only school principals and students had a game that could satisfy the requirements of curriculum testing and be fun and efficient at facilitating learning.

Any ideas?

How 'bout LILA?

The Art of Game Design

Looking at the chart of game elements and their interrelationships, I am envisioning how game play could be optimized (or whether it should or can) for an ARG that evolved organically by inviting game developers to contribute to a massive learning game. Something to think about.

Twitter, LILA and Google (Playxpert)

Ok, so what is going on here? Real time search. Places where people congregate. Gaming. Learning. I'm so close to figuring out an actual game where we could play with these things and assess cognitive faculties on top of it.

My brain is screaming! THIS IS THE NEW SCHOOL!

Anyone?

The Edge World Question Center's 2009 What will change the world

Ok, I would like to think that this is the year, esp if Google picks my entry LILA, that Digital Game-Based Learning starts to change the world by offering free ubiquitous exponentially fast learning for everyone.

I'd like to think....

Slouching Towards the Concept of Social Network Gaming...

The Game is the social network. And play is the goal. Everything else will happen easier when that is established as a fundamental condition. The Game is the operating system, platform, browser and application. And when Self Actualization is the core mission, self-estemm, love, security and all our basic physical needs arise as a result.

Here there is a glimmer...
