If you haven't yet gotten your hands on Karl Kapp's Gadgets, Games and Gizmos for Learning are missing out on a real treat. I spend a lot of time in trainer development work and have lately run into (yet another...) disturbing trend. Lots of trainers are interested in "Generations" training, but invariably these trainers are 50+ who stand and orate, backlit by their boring PowerPoint slides, about "Them": "the Millenialls", "the Xers"... and how we must tolerate and accommodate Them. It's about time we heard from someone who understands and defends Them-- the gamers, the future.
Kapp is a champion for "Them" and I, for one, can't wait to see more of Them in the workplace!

Jane,
Having two gamer boys, I like to stand in their corner.
You might want to check out the post by Mike Qaissaunee's he wrote a post These Kids are Wired Differently. Mike gives a fantatic list of free games and game resources which would make you proud:) Looking forward to a blog book tour with your upcoming publications.
