[game_edu] Open Letter

[Susan Gold]

I think one of the unsaid Education SIG goals is about creating bridges to
industry. I think that we all have a lot to learn from one another.  To
accomplish just that, I have invited John Hopson to join our listserv. I
think that the discussion online can only be furthered by creating a two way
dialog.

As many of you know we are working feverishly on creating the right kind of
portal to games related education, we have a large curriculum program that
is about to start online. We are going to ask each of you to participate of
course. Currently we are looking for some testers to help us in making the
experience smooth for the rest of us. Please contact me if you would like to
assist while we work through beta.

The IGDA Education SIG Curriculum Workshop/GDC content will soon to be
finalized. Drew Davidson and his committee have already organized an R&D
Industry Panel as a part of the workshop. Personally, I could not sit
through another HR chat on how to do a demo reel. The Workshop will be very
hands on this year, even working lunches. We have a lot squeezed into two
days, and plan to make this a tremendous learning opportunity for each of
us. I am sorry that I can only offer a teaser of things to come. Many more
details to follow within the week.
