Educational Gaming Topics at FETC 2008

The annual Florida Educational Technology Conference (FETC), FETC 2008, is coming to Orlando, January 22-25 at the Orange County Convention Center. Here’s a blurb from their web site:

FETC is one of the largest, most successful conferences in the United States devoted to educational technology. The conference program is designed so educators and administrators have an opportunity to learn how to integrate different technologies across the curriculum–from kindergarten to college–while being exposed to the latest hardware, software and successful strategies on student technology use. FETC is designed for teachers, principals and deans, district administrators, curriculum designers, media specialists, technology directors and various other educators.

I noticed that Dr. Chris Dede of River City fame is a featured speaker. In addition, there will be at least three sessions on educational video gaming:

- Leading Digital Immigrants to Teach Math to the Video Game Generation, Ntiedo Etuk

- Using Educational Games to Develop Student’s Content Knowledge, Meredith DiPietro with Richard E. Ferdig and Jeff Boyer

- Why Game Development Matters, Jeff Boyer with Rick Ferdig and Meredith DiPietro

FETC continues to gain national recognition and prominence each year. This year will be no exception.
