Going to NECC 2009? How about a little ARG time?

I will be presenting a 1 hour hands on session (you provide laptop with Internet access or Internet phone) on teaching and learning through Alternate Reality Games (ARG's). This session is scheduled for NECC Unplugged on Monday June 29th starting at 12:30. Come play the game and learning about this creative way of constructing learning environments. You can learn more from my blog (http://bigenhoc.wordpress.com/) where I have linked to a learning adventure I created on ARG's as learning environments. I hope to see you there.

Sounds like a very interesting session. I'm not sure that I fully understand what an ARG is. So, I'll try my best to attend.

You might also stop by my exhibit booth, 3744, where we'll be offering a great NECC Stimulus Package on our suite of five Google Earth units.

Feel free to use the term "narrative inquiry" to describe how ARG works as learning. It has been my life long goal to get a phase of mine into common usage :p

I won't be attending the event as it is across the country from me but I'm extremely interesting in ARGs as educational devices (which you can see in my other threads here) so I'd love to get some of the info you're presenting if it is possible in some way.
