I’ve been e-mailing with Al Meyers over at ReinventED Solutions in Atlanta, in particular about a new book he is co-authoring detailing how technology changes cognitive behavior. It’s interesting stuff, and more is on his blog here.
Al has taken issue with some of the comments over on one of my posts regarding video game addiction. It’s been an interesting conversation over there, as far as blog comments go, which often take several months to play out. I do approve most comments, regardless of the opinion of the posters, provided they meet the minimum standards. So there are several comments disagreeing with my posts or precepts scattered throughout the blog. Al Meyers has been a consistent champion of using technology for education, so I’m glad to have him on my side in this particular debate.
Al has extensive experience with online gaming companies in Korea and has been involved with numerous projects in Georgia (the state, not the country) and in various conferences throughout the US. I’ve added his blog to the Related Sites list.

Thanks for the favorable comment. I hope you continue to follow both our our blogs, as John does a great service to the tribe trying to build mainstream acceptance of games for learning.
