How can we improve professional development for teaching and****

learning with digitally mediated resources?****

** **

Educators are being asked to design schools that perform better, with less
revenue, amidst higher poverty, and in the context of a transforming
workplace that demands proficient 21st century skills out of students.
Digital media and tools provide nearly ubiquitous access to information and
communication in ways that are transforming learning and potentially
responding to these new demands. This talk will review Seann’s and other’s
research identifying learning practices using digital tools, and the work
of Games + Learning + Society and GamingMatter to investigate, design, and
study digital interactions, simulations, gaming media, augmented reality,
and other digital tools for learning.****

Seann is the founder and director of GamingMatter and a researcher for the
Games + Learning + Society research group at the University of Wisconsin -
Madison. He merges the work of Dr. Richard Halverson and Dr. Kurt Squire
toward the improvement of practice through the use of digitally mediated
learning. Seann is the lead editor of the 2010 book Real-Time Research and
Mobile Media Learning, (Summer 2012), co-designer of the Augmented Reality
and Interactive Storytelling (ARIS) editor, and serves as a consultant,
media designer, writer, and national speaker on educational technologies.
Seann Dikkers is currently working on the Comprehensive Assessment of
Leadership for Learning (CALL), with Dr. Richard Halverson and Dr. Carolyn
Kelley and thanks to funding from the Institute of Educational Sciences, to
develop a 360 degree formative feedback system for school leaders. His work
leverages fourteen years of public school teaching and administration to
ask what emergent trajectories****
