First week of classes/ Game Theory

It's been an exciting first week of classes. Teaching EME4406 has been going real well. I have an average of 4 students in each section. The website is still a work in progress, but it's getting there. My coteacher fixed most of it up, and I just have to play with some of the headings for the lab section. http://education.ufl.edu/Courses/EME4406

I'm especially excited about my Game Theory and Design class with Dr. Ferdig. I was up half the night on Monday because every time I was about to fall asleep I would get a new idea for my final project for that class. I've already started doing research for the class, and can't wait to get started on the project itself. I'm creating an educational RPG for either 7th or 8th graders. I'm not sure of the details yet, but I have a storyline set up, as well as a potential testing base. One of the things I have to figure out in the next week is how I want it to be used, whether it's going to be for parents to help their children, or for teachers to use with their students, or even as FCAT practice. I probably will not talk too much about it on here though until close to the end of the semester, unless I have a question about something in it.
