I like your music choices, just remember to use copyright free music. I suggest you ground the use of games in a theory of learning. The Zork board confused me probably because I don't know the game. At which conference will your speaker be presenting? The Crystallis Conference next week? Take a look at http://gamesined.wikispaces.com/MMORPG
Durff - I think copyright laws allow us to use up to 30 seconds for educational purposes. I am using Vygotsky as my foundational theorist, using ideas from social cognition.
Zork was one of the earliest text based adventure games. I just needed an image to represent the idea of history. It may be mentioned in the foundational material, but most likely not.
Again, as this project is purely hypothetical, I was under the assumption we did not need an actual conference. If so, I'll use TIE (Technology in Education) since I have been a couple times.
Thank you for the link! I have not seen that before and will be checking it out. At a quick glance, that wiki includes a vast amount of games! It is nice that it is reasonably recent, as online information can change rapidly. I like that they have included some teaching resources.
