Keynote Speaker: Lee Sheldon Wednesday, July 30th @ 10:30 AM MST

Topic: The Persuasion Games Lee will introduce designing classes as games that persuade students to want to learn—not by using commercial products or educational games—but by applying game design principles and narrative techniques to standard curriculums and learning outcomes. He will then help you with the hard part: honing your sales pitch to parents, school boards and state standards committees.
