JamesMcCrary: Hey, Scott!

JamesMcCrary: Yep!
ScottMerrick: Ahyone see her at ISTE several years ago?
ScottMerrick: So glad my faculty meeting ended on time.
JamesMcCrary: YEah, In San Antonio, I think
ScottMerrick: Andy got to meet her. I was the next in line when they called the session over lol
MarilynJimenez: This was fascinating. Too often in the liberal arts environment we disdain gaming as a 'waste of time.' I can see how this approach could harness the resources that many of our students already hve.
JamesMcCrary: I've had the opportunity to meet with her and her sister. Both are phenominal people and are super intense about their passion
ScottMerrick: Have you already watched it? lol

MarilynJimenez: I never heard of it
JamesMcCrary: Yep.
ScottMerrick: Can you pop that url into my chat too? and let me have the whole chatlog? I'll update the site too.
JamesMcCrary: Initial research coming from VR gaming is extremely promising for real-world skill development and problem sovling.
ScottMerrick: And any pics?
