Positioning Yourself in the Field Part 2

I've decided for my Positioning Yourself in the Field assignment that it will be way too much this semester for me to research tech coordination for school district and I'm just going to bring in some of my research on RPGs so that I can focus on one thing and do that much of a better job on it. Along with this I plan to explore the areas of test prep using games because only by seeing where we are and where we've come from in the field of educational gaming can I hope to create my RPG and have it improve upon current issues in educational gaming. I figure it's a lot broader than just focusing on how FCAT is created, but it's narrower than educational gaming in general and it will greatly help my research for Game Theory and Design.

My RUBY book arrived from Amazon on Monday and I've read through the introduction. I'm very excited to get started on learning the language.

Keith,

I'm so envious of your RPG development. Having been a long time RPG-gamer (over 20 years now), I see the useful implications they could have for educational gaming. I don't think there is any other genre of games that imbues the gamer with such a sense of ownership and immersion as RPGs.

I'll be following your progress closely to vicariously gobble up any crumbs you may drop along the proper path to their implementation.

Best of luck on this endeavor,
Joe
