[game_edu] Elections & Nominations for the IGDA EdSIG

[Susan Gold]

We had a great meeting at GDC, with the room filled to the brim with  
interested folks. During the meeting we came up with four areas that  
the group felt the SIG should work on, they were:

Curriculum
2012 revamp
assessment
Communication
a newsletter
a selective list for discussions that should not necessarily be open  
to the world
Knowledge Base
expanded
post-mortem of courses
Collaboration
a clearing house of information for projects
capitalize on the synergy of the Global Game Jam

Also discussed were the different roles that should be elected and  
what those jobs would entail:

Chair - Manages the IGDA Education listserv, website and  
communications. Works within the mission of the SIG and meets the  
needs of the SIG. Develops a strategy for growth and governance.

Communications Director - Responsible for creating a substantial web  
presence for the SIG, ideally a newsletter

Technology Director - Someone responsible for making sure that the  
TECH needs of the SIG are implemented and work within the IGDA website  
and or new sites, (think databases, wiki's, knowledge base)

Other positions are also available, these are the ones that seem to be  
necessary to have the SIG move forward with elections.

Next steps:  (my intentions)

1) Nominations - March 18 - April 9, 2010
2) Advisory Board Review of Candidates April 10 - 18, 2010
3) Elections - April 19 - May 1, 2010

In order to nominate yourself or others, please put together a  
statement with the following information:

1) Position you are seeking
2) A little about your experience
3) Why you want the job
4) Vision statement for the future of the SIG

Criteria for any position: IGDA Member in good standing for 2+ years.  
For the Chair position, I think it would be important to have been or  
are an educator.

Susan
