Games and Badges- A Whole New Way to Learn!

We are very excited that we are bringing Susan Manning to Grantsburg on May 23 and May 24 to work with iForward teachers and District Staff on how to design courses using "Badging." http://www.uwstout.edu/faculty/mannings/index.cfm

I have been in two of Susan's graduate courses at UW Stout on  Instructional Design  ( E-learning course design).  The most recent was this past February when I took her course on Games in Education (Badging).  She is one of these best professors and teachers from whom I have the privilege to learn.  Her courses are extremely well designed and she truly walks the walk.  Susan is coming from Chicago and will train our design team on how to use Badgestack as we design courses for iForward and GHS http://badgestackproject.org/.
