MLTI-Kauffman Announce Games, Learning & Technology Initiative (GLTI)   MLTI is happy to announce a joint research project with the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation on informal educational gaming called Games, Learning & Technology Intiative (GLTI). Educational games are transforming the classroom landscape: multiple research studies have shown that educational gaming can dramatically improve student learning outcomes, while simultaneously reducing the gap between the least and most accomplished students. As part of the GLTI project, MLTI will be supplying up to 12 middle and high schools with a range of top-tier Mac OS X educational gaming software packages at no cost to the schools. The goal of the current project is to determine which games students would play on their own, and how frequently they would play them, while simultaneously allowing teachers access to the software and associated professional development materials.

As We May Teach, From Theory into Practice

Over the past sixty years, new intellectual technologies have evolved from speculative conceptual sketches into concrete tools embodied in today's computers and the Web. However, the task of putting them to best use in education is still a work in progress. Join Dr. Ruben Puentedura as he discusses hands-on approaches that transform research into teaching practice - and shows you how to have some fun in the process.

Dr. Ruben Puentedura is the Founder and President of Hippasus, a consulting firm focusing on transformative applications of information technologies to education. He has implemented these approaches for over twenty years at a range of educational institutions, hospitals, and arts organizations. He is the creator of SAMR, the four-level approach to selecting, using, and evaluating technology in education that underlies Maine's "Roadmap to the 21st Century Classroom."
