Briefly describe your background:: I'm a doctoral student in the Educational Communication and Technology program at New York University, where I am a part of the Consortium for Research and Evaluation of Advanced Technologies in Education (create.alt.ed.nyu.edu) team. I am involved in the "Molecules and Minds II: Bridging Representations in Science Education" project and the Games For Learning Institute (g4li.org). Previously, I was the senior manager of research and communications at the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop. I was also a researcher at the Center for Children & Technology, part of the Education Development Center. I have helped produce science documentaries for clients such as WGBH/Boston and Discovery Communications and lived abroad in Beijing for 2 1/2 years, during which time I created an English instructional series for Beijing TV and served as the Arts & Entertainment Editor for that's Beijing magazine. I have a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and a M.S. in Science Journalism from Boston University.

At 1:12pm on June 30, 2010, Matthew Parker said…: Hey Dixie,

I'd love to have an PlayPower event at ITP/NYU. Jeremiah should also be involved with this, since he's going to be a resident researcher next year here at ITP. Also, I have some contacts at the NYU Game Center, NYU Poly Tech, and Games for Learning Institute. Not sure if they'd be interested being involved, but I can ask. Let's start with ITP and take it from there.

Thanks!
Matt
