Sorry about the delay, i've been in the thick of teaching.
Sorry about the delay, i've been in the thick of teaching.
Still a bit busy, so updates are still short...
And, here's a summary of the classes i've taught: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0ARvHBS01ogRpZGNqamsyemNfMTIxY2g5ZzYyano&hl=en
As my days get more packed, blog entries seem to become shorter...
Now reporting to you from Johannesburg (also known as Jo'burg or Jozi)...
Update 3. The last couple of days are a bit of a blur, and aren't exactly well documented as a result.
Here's the second update:
What follows is an account of my time spent as a fellow in the Teach With Africa program. These updates will come in chunks, as i have limited access, but I am keeping a daily journal. Spelling and sentence structure will be terrible, as these posts tend to be written in a complete whirlwind of emotion and experiences. Many thanks to Electronic Arts for making this possible for me, and to Teach with Africa and the LEAP schools for providing this experience. This blog will be extremely personal, as this is the journal that I am keeping for my own records. John Gilmour encourages his students to be completely open with their feelings in the LEAP code of conduct, and since we are required to follow this as well, I am going to be as frank as possible

Stone Librande, the Lead Designer on Spore, will be talking about game design on April 16th at Gamepipe. Having had the privilege of working with him, I'd highly recommend his lectures.
