Educational Games Research Joins the CASTLE Family

We’re up and running on our new site. All posts and comments from the last couple of years have been ported over, and already a steady stream of visitors is exploring the new URL.

Along with the changes in our location on the web, I’m happy to announce that Educational Games Research Blog is now affiliated with the University Council for Educational Administration’s Center for the Advanced Study of Technology Leadership in Education at Iowa State University. CASTLE is led by Dr. Scott McLeod, and the organization is dedicated to preparing school administrators for the unique technology challenges in K-12 environments.

Several blogs are affiliated with CASTLE, including Dr. McLeod’s Dangerously Irrelevant, Leader Talk over at EducationWeek, and The Edjurist, led by professors from U. Kentucky focusing on education law.

It’s an exciting time to be blogging, with so many conversations on technology in education. Now more than ever, educational gaming is a key issue. I hope you’ll find this blog useful throughout 2010 and beyond.
