I am an educational technology grad student currently enrolled in an HCI course. I am also a Technology Integration Specialist at an elementary school and am interested in social software and its power on the web for student engagement. I live in Texas so it is obviously impossible to attend the meeting that was described in this post. I read the blog entry you posted in January discussing in more detail about Amy Jo Kim's literature and would like to know more. I don't know if "Game Mechanics in Social Software" has the same implications as Marc Prensky's book. "Don't Bother Me Mom, I'm Learning," but if so I would like to learn what the differences are in design for a game-infused interface rather than the social network interfaces I am used to now. It would be very helpful if someone could explain this in more detail and if someone could tell me if I am completely in left field with this concept!
