I am doing a workshop on using games and game design in education at SCAD Atlanta this summer, in fact. It's just not in your area. :) Feel free to contact me off list about bringing a workshop like this there, though. Sometimes the college makes things mobile.

>From extracurricular activities to everyday lives, the video game culture

is everywhere, except the classroom. Studies have shown, however,
that the interactivity present in video games has the tremendous
potential to teach. Using the power of this medium and young people’s
desire to learn about it, educators can make topics come alive
and capture their students’ interest as never before.
