    Saw you at the conference today, well impressed with your ideas on game based learning. Have been given the goahead to buy a Wii asap. We were the ones who did the video, Lakenham Primary School. Am there again thursday,look forward to seeing you again.

    Hi Dawn,

    A colleague of mine mentioned your blog to me today, and I’m hooked. I work for a publisher and I’m really interested in how children learn using games. I was fascinated to read about what you’re doing with your pupils. As a result of all this reading, I have a cheeky reuqest: Would it be possible for me to come and meet you and your pupils and find out more about your experiences?

    I understand if your classroom feels a bit like Piccadilly Circus with the number of visitors you must have coming through, so I do understand if one more enthusiastic spectator would be one too many!

    Hope to hear from you!

    Anne-Marie

    Thanks Anne- Marie for the comment – am sure we could arrange something but probably not until June time at the earliest – are you going to NCR event on 30th or would you be able to drop me an e mail address and we can see what we can do

    Hi, nice blog!

    Would like to share a interactive learning tool with you called “Shakespeak”. I think you’ll like it : )

    Hi Dawn,
    I’m working on a project for the OU on the subject of children and gaming. Phil at Preloaded told me about your work and I’d love to talk to you.
    Thanks and all best
    Caroline
