School / Work Affiliation: Serious Game Design MA Student, Michigan State University

About Me: Do you need an extra dose of whimsy?

I'm Kristy Cunningham. This spring I graduated from MSU's Serious Game Design M.A. Program. As an artist and designer, I believe play is important to people, and seek to create characters, worlds, stories, and game mechanics that inspire wonder and spark the imagination.

Ultimately, my goals are to create human-centered play experiences in order to enrich the lives of people. I believe it is valuable to give people an outlet where make-believe and wonder are rewarded and celebrated, where a person can learn to imagine, question, and persevere in a quest to see a dream through.

We are creatures of play, and after all, "Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere."-Carl Sagan

With your interest in Instructional Technology, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service.

Hope you're enjoying the winter break. I was wondering if you, your educator contacts or students would be interested in participating in a Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. We'd really like to get more students involved from Ohio.

You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!
