Announcing IGDA's NEW Education SIG

It is my hope that our SIG will become the one stop for all educators and students in game education. It will also be a helpful tool to everyone involved in the industry. We will use the web as a tool to have discussions, connect to other resources, and maintain a history of our collective work and conversations that will benefit our membership for years to come.

Mission: To create a community resource that will strengthen the academic membership of the IGDA while enhancing the education of future and current game developers.

We are looking for your input and assistance in the mailing list or wiki. We have a wide swath to set whatever milestones and goals we choose. Your involvement towards our efforts over the next few years will define the educational future of the IGDA and it is for you to choose.

There are those of you out there that want to impact this journey with their wisdom and experience, so volunteer. You need not be an instructor to participate in this SIG; we are all inclusive without worrying about promotion or recruitment. You can be from industry - you are the ultimate end user. We are looking for those that want to make their mark on the future of game development education. Check out the space periodically to see what we're up to. Please consider joining in the discussions and becoming a member of one of the teams. No doubt your input will push our collective thinking forward.
