Question:
What brings me here? Why am I here?
That's a good question. I'm here for a number of reasons. I am interested in games in education and I figure that I learn most by talking / communicating with others with similar interests. I'm also here as a part of a class (Dr. A's EMS 594 at NC State). And I hope to figure out how students and teachers are using games ... and how people are teaching teachers to use games in classrooms.
What am I excited about?
I am excited about taking part and having an experience and possibly joining a community. I hope to build a game and learn to use some new tools. Also, I enjoy talking to young people about games and watching them use computers. They go to sites and do things with computer that I don't.
What am I concerned about?
I'm concerned that I won't learn as much as I can or that people won't understand or value my ideas. That my game / ideas will be "sucky" and not "Beastly"

Gotta use the lingo man! It's 1337!
That's how the community begins, eh? Heh...

Nomenclature and vernacular - That's right. If culture is communication, then language goes a long way to define our community and culture.
LUNCHTIME!
