Who is interested in teaching kids through gamifying their learning process?

I am the CEO of a Belfast based start up. This is my single goal in life. Other than to look after my wife and daughter. The start up is called MatchMedia Ireland Ltd. Our work is a little 'under wraps' at the minute. I would love to connect with others who can help. My twitter id is '@internetsense' my email is philip (at) matchmedia.tv and our blog for matchmedia can be found at matchmedia.typepad.com

Best Regards Phil

I teach drama and environmental education. I'm about to start a 3 day camp on environmental education and am looking at ways of using game mechanics to excite kids and reward and increase intrinsic motivators.

We're about to announce our first big game Code Hero because we won an Editor's Choice Blue Ribbon Award at Maker Faire 2011. So much for stealth mode! Code Hero is like Guitar Hero for coding: It's a game about making games that teaches computer programming in a first-person shooter like Portal.

I appreciate that you are letting students create games instead of just letting them play. They learn so much better when they are making rather than passively receiving information. What kind of narrative capabilities are built into the system? I'm a big advocate of having children tell stories. Giving them some facts and asking them to incorporate them into a story is a pretty effective way to help them remember those facts.
