Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 05:21AM I did an hour-long live show for WNPR about board games. We talked first about how board games are changing and then about game design. The final segment focused on what I'm working toward for libraries and schools.

Friday, September 23, 2011 at 03:57PM The Sept./Oct. 2011 (vol. 40, issue 1) issue of Knowledge Quest, the publication of the American Association of School Librarians, is all about educational gaming. The table of contents is online, but to get the full issue, you will need to get the journal through your local library or AASL.
I am able to share a preprint version of my article from that journal with you here. It is called "Making Gameplay Matter: Designing Modern Educational Tabletop Games," and you can find it at:
article Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 02:33PM On Sept. 8, 2011, I presented a talk called "From Settlers to Quarriors: Breaking Up the Monopoly with Modern Board Game Design." They recorded the audio of the talk, and I set up a fipcam to get the video.
You can see the video of the talk at YouTube or watch it below.
If you just want the audio, you can get that from the Comparative Media Studies podcast .
