DESCRIPTION
"Location, Location, Location: Location-based Games that Work... and Don't Work." Museums are pretty serious about play. Some museums have created some of the best live-action education games around. Are educators taking full advantage of the technical resources that museums have to offer? Are they collaborating with museums and helping to create meaningful content for their students? What does K-12 have to learn from museums and what can museums do to help the K-12 experience? Join this dialog and learn more about what unusual and imaginative things institutions big and small are doing to engage people in learning, mobile storytelling, and play.
