[game_edu] elements of play

[Anne Marie Gruber]

I wanted to pass this along to add to the conversation about fun & play: Jon-Paul Dyson spoke at the Gaming, Learning, & Libraries Symposium a couple weeks ago.  He is a VP/Curator at Strong National Museum of Play.  He described the elements of play, which are also on the museum's website: http://www.museumofplay.com/about_play/elements.html
And he did differentiate play from fun as several people on the list have as well.

Dyson mentioned that he edits a new interdisciplinary journal, American Journal of Play, which will definitely contribute to this conversation. The journal website is: http://www.americanjournalofplay.org/
