[PIGMI] TED talk - How Games Make Kids Smarter

[Simon Boxer]

Hey all,

Just thought I'd post this:
http://www.ted.com/talks/gabe_zichermann_how_games_make_kids_smarter.html

A few buzz words in there (I know they make some people nauseous) but great
content.
Saw this guy talk while in San Fran actually, and the notes I posted in the
Star Hammer thread from the Virtual Good Summit had a section from Gabe's
presentation.

This gamification stuff is one of the big focuses in SF. Very big business
in the educational/corporate/personal product space, although a lot of it
isn't about the types of games we typically think of, more embedding game
mechanics in life.

Cheers,
S
