games teach

"Games teach that failure isn't bad, and that collaboration isn't cheating." Henry Jenkins, quoted by Alice Taylor in this Do Lecture. Lots of nice brainfood in this. If I had my way, all (OK, not all, lots) of comms would have a playable element of some kind. Worth a lunchtime view. Or watch it on the podcast.

For anyone with half an hour to spare, I can't recommend the Do lectures site highly enough. It's an event organised by Howies that gathered a lot of interesting people in one place to explain all about the interesting things they do and the philosophy behind it. All in the hope that it inspires you to go do as well. Featuring everyone's favourite inventor, Trevor Baylis and the always interesting Russell Davies. Do it. Do it. Do it.
