I really enjoy this video about the "Gamification Revolution". Gabe Zichermann is the keynote speaker at this Google conference. He is an author, has developed games, started up companies, created apps, and chairs a number of events. He's very busy!!
Gabe tells you about his history, which is very interesting, and he goes into details about video/learning games (i.e. Where in the World is Carmen San Diego). I remember playing that game!! Loved it. He also talks about the effects that these games have on learning and behaviors and human development.
It's a fairly long video, so you might want to grab some popcorn. Hope you enjoy this!!

This sounds really interesting, especially after Rachel and I did our project on Edutainment. I skimmed through the video but will definitely check out when I have more time. Thanks!
