Are you passionate about gaming as a valid form of education? You’re not alone. The Learning Games Network wants to put you in touch with other like-minded educators through their Teachers Professional Learning Community:

“The PLC will provide a forum for teachers to share experiences and ideas for using existing games in the classroom, as well as discuss ideas and concepts for where games could fill gaps and niches in curricula. Teachers involved in technology will also have the opportunity for professional development in workshops with developers and producers. And ultimately, we hope that the Teacher PLC will provide mentors and ‘chapter advisors’ for local and regional groups of students in the Design Corps.”

If you’re interested, fill out their questionnaire. A lot of folks feel like gaming could be the next educational revolution. Here’s your chance to talk with them and make it happen.
