I summarized some of my thoughts on math game design for the upcoming online event February 3rd, which is a part of CO12 (Connecting Online 2012) conference. In particular:
- Defining intrinsic math game mechanics, and why we want them
- Taxonomies for math game designers
I would very much like comments about my slides, which are here:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/10gG23rJdWKwdDh4sWgj9uYptx4XSiFKmYbeAk0YUT94/edit
The presentation will happen online on February 3, 1pm Eastern Time, and is open and free. You can log in here: http://www.wiziq.com/online-class/701943-math-game-development-communities-and-networks

Where in the world is math?

So, the world sends two million emails every minute. This counter is mesmerizing! It’s also fake, in that it does not REALLY count emails as they are sent.

For MathSeeker, we not only need to count, but analyze, categorize, tag, aggregate and display the flows of mathematical interactions online. Web searches do it very poorly. Just try to use Google to answer some of questions I get:

  • Where can pre-service teachers from my program start building their personal networks?
  • How can I approach good guest math bloggers for our new math and science project?
  • What is an appropriate forum for my eight-year-old who loves to talk about calculus?
  • Who can help visitors of my open courseware depository with a question about a particular topic?
  • How can I invite readers to collaborate on making my book draft?
