World of Learning Report

calm before storm.JPG

Here are a few pictures from our booth at World of Learning this week in Birmingham - the calm before the storm, the swarm of Gizmondo trials and me highlighting the interest we received in our plans to run a series of workshops next year called Seriously Mobile. We generated a bit of buzz as evidenced by the number of exhibitors and delegates being 'sent' over to our booth by their colleagues to check us out! The fourth photo is of Dick and Kevin Corti of Pixel Learning who also saw lots of interest in his booth on games for learning. I was encouraged by the number of of discussions we had on using games and game platforms to solve real business problems for a really diverse range of organizations!

The winner of our Gizmondo draw was Dave Spinks of ITV - congratulations!
Thanks again to Gizmondo for their support!

Thanks also to Quicksilver Studios and Datmedia for adding innovative solutions from the geo-location based gaming demos to producing the Official Podcast of WOL. Thanks also to Dick Davies who was on hand to explain our upcoming Seriously Mobile workshop series and launch the Serious Mobile Games portal! This Blog will go quiet for a week while I'm on holiday... You can subscribe to this site with an RSS reader - on just type the url into FireAnt or whichever RSS reader you use for the next update...we have a lot to talk about!
