Forums - Gaming - So, has anyone heard of Jane McGonigal because I got to listen to her speak today at my college.

Ya so, I got to listen to her and she was really great.  She had a lot of really great things to say about the games that she has made and the future. The biggest point that she made is that it does not matter how successful something is that you do as long you can make an impact with even one person.  By the end of her speaking, I felt really inspired to just try and make a difference even if it's just impacts a few people.  The last thing that she said is that in games you have basically unlimited chances to get to pass the level or to finish just the way you want, and she said that she wished that school would get rid of giving you a test with one try and if you fail, you fail.  She thinks that kids should be given as many chances to get the grade they want and as they take the test they will still learn the material and that it doesn't matter if we learn it today or a month from now as long as we learn it.

So, has anyone heard of her, seen her speak, or the games she has made and have you played them?
