Alternate Reality Game Designer Jane McGonigal (STEM Trailblazer Bios)

A brief book about Jane McConigal's work so far. Being a great fan of Jane I do recommend this book and also advice you to seek her conferences at TED Talks (ted.com) or at the Computer History Museum (www.computerhistory.org or at the mueseum youtube channel) so you can get a better grasp of the things she is trying to accomplish through Gaming. Another great book I recommend from her is "Reality is Broken" if you wish to get a deeper understanding of how games and "gamification" can become a tool to accomplish great things.

Would love to use this book in my elementary classroom to encourage females to view science, technology, and math as a great run-way for fame, fortune, and fun.

I am the subject of this book! :) Although I was not a part of the writing of the book, I was happy to discover it and read it. :) It captures my early experiences with games particularly well.
