Greetings AASL Colleagues, 
 
I’m sending this on behalf of Dr. Stegman from Learning Technologies.  Can you 
please pass this on to your teachers or anyone who might be interested? 


Thank you,

Learning Technologies News- May 2012 
 Immune  Defense"Beta" is Ready to Play!
You  will also find a teacher's guide to the game.  Play the game with your 
class, follow up with some of our questions:  What is a "First Playable" version 
of a game?  How is technology developed?  What do you think you are supposed to 
learn in this game?  What  do you want to learn from this game?  What is an LPS 
Receptor?  What is a protein? And then, please share your feedback with us.
Immune Defensepresents white blood cells, their  signaling proteins, their 
receptors, their activities, responses to signals, differentiation... and all of 
these must be used strategically to beat ever more tricky pathogens.  Web based, 
PC and Mac compatible, you will only need the Unity Webplayer.  Find  everything 
you need here: 

Click  here to test our game with your students today!  
 Immune  Attack still needs some evaluation, too!
Immune Attack is our PC-only, download-and-install, three dimensional game in 
which players to activate proteins to get white blood cells to do their 
jobs....  Set in a real fantasy  world of the vein, connective tissue and a 
macrophage cell surface, Immune Attack delivers flying and shooting excitement 
and cellular immunology satisfaction. 
If you have a PC computer lab in your school you can collect data for us! 
Please SIGN UP HERE and we'll send you the details.  
 Calling Scientists!  Looking for Science Video Games?  Teachers? 
ScienceGameCenter.org
Everyone wants to use "a great science game" in their classroom or their living 
room.  But which game is great for your kids or your audience?  We are 
collecting all the science  games we can find for people 10 and up, and we are 
collecting comments and reviews so you can learn from your colleagues about 
these diverse games.
ARE YOU A SCIENTIST?  Would you like to review a game about PHYSICS or CELL 
BIOLOGY?  Are you a TEACHER?  We are soliciting EXPERT REVIEWERS to give us 
insight into what these  science games do well and how many different ways they 
might be used in the classroom or the living room.  D
Are you a GAME DEVELOPER?  Well, ask your audience to review your game 
at ScienceGameCenter.org  

 Teachers,  please plan to help us next Fall!
We are planning a large scale controlled evaluation of Immune Defense.  We hope 
to show that the game + a lecture teaches better than just the game...  We will 
provide the lecture  on video...  we hope you can help us out in the Fall 
Semester.  For more information, please sign up here.  Our collaborators are the 
Maine International Center for Digital Learning (MICDL.org.)   


About the Learning Technologies Program:The Learning Technologies Program was 
started at FAS in 2001, in response to the growing realization that technology 
might be a very important addition to our education system, but that it was not  
being developed in leaps or bounds. FAS Learning Technologies took a big leap 
when the started making Immune Attackand Discover Babylonin 2004. Both games are 
available for free download (PC only) at at our website.  Contact Melanie 
Stegmanwith comments.
