I've posted information about the recent Games for Health conference, inluding a link to my pre-conference presentation slides, on the TechPsych blog.  My talk focused on game accessibility for games and applications in K-12 settings.  (The two pre-conference strands were Virtual Worlds and Game Accessibility.)

The Futuresonic international conference and the Social Technologies Summit invite proposals for talks, presentations, workshops and session themes. Submissions of innovative formats for social interaction are encouraged.

Factors of Evolution Revealed in Hand Puppet Behavior The Temporal Act of Symbolic Art, Movement, the Hand, Play, and the BrainPuppets are known to exert an extraordinary force upon children. Adults are also deeply affected by their gravitational pull when playing with or using them. The property of play is the primary element involved in the hand puppet's power. But there is more. The pet-like appearance, the ‘little' voice and expressive movement signals safety, disarms, and elicits humor, expressiveness and articulation.

In Education, the topic of Play is typically afforded a certain modicum of lip service, the patronizing pat on the head, and then dismissal of such a childish idea. In Brain Science, Play may be the most compelling area of research and the bridge leading to an applied science of learning.
