We bring non-traditional audiences into innovative spaces of production & learning through partnerships with the game industry, academia, government, science, technology, & the arts. Our goals are to: * Embrace game design as an agent of provocation, education, and change * Build new domains of knowledge connected to gaming, digital media and learning * Develop innovative curricula around gaming literacies * Create experiences bridging digital and non-digital learning environments * Foster new models of collaboration between students, educators, and professional game designers * Provide a space for the experimentation and exchange of ideas pdboyer Tue, 28 Sep 2010 01:11:01 GMT http://www.freezeray.com/flashFiles/investigationPlanner.htm A useful visual prompt/aid for investigation. Key variables are selected along with the dependant variable. Basic modelling allows positive and negative correlations to be selected to allow a prediction to be decided upon. The key variable is selected and the tables and graph set up is automatically determined. pdboyer Sun, 05 Sep 2010 18:15:48 GMT http://laboutloud.com/ Science for the classroom and beyond pdboyer Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:32:42 GMT http://www.chem.tamu.edu/class/fyp/mathrev/mr-da.html Dimensional Analysis (also called Factor-Label Method or the Unit Factor Method) is a problem-solving method that uses the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value.
