[game_edu] loopy Proposal - The Aggies!

[Toby Barnes]

Hi
4 very quick things.

1. "Exclusive Announcement for IGDA list" :) - Games Edu returns for it's
third year in 2008. The International Event on Games Education - aimed at
not just the great courses, but for those who want to learn more from
educators as well as actual industry developers. http://Www.games-edu.co.uk
(not updated yet)
2. It will be happening in 2 locations, with 2 distinct programmes - March
Manchester, and July Brighton. There will be a discount to attend both, or
just pick one.
3. We are working with the Develop Awards to have a special education
Category. - Innovation in Education. Looking at the best course or
institution as valued by Industry - not just training but a solid
educational base. This will be in addition to a Games Edu dinner at the July
Event which may have an award theme.  These events are supported by
Skillset, but we are always looking for additional sponsors.
4. I am also developing a Games Edu Linkedin Group (www.linkedin.com) - as
an alternative way to keep up to date with games edu - if you are not
already invite me to link in, and I will add you to the group.
