[Edu] questions about Eco Fluxx

[Carol Townsend]

Well, there's a few things that may/will happen with stuff that teachers 
write up and send in.

1) I'm building content for our website - we've got a spot for stuff that 
teachers send us 
(<http://www.looneylabs.com/OurGames/EducationalIdeas/index.html>) but I've 
just not had the time lately (Origins and Gen Con and stuff!!!) to get new 
stuff up.

2) It might end up in a brochure or other publication - like as a quote on 
the Wunderland website (www.wunderland.com).

3) And finally, anything shared on this list does encourage other teachers 
in thinking about how to use these games in their classrooms perhaps in a 
different way.

There's probably a ton of other things that can/will happen with submitted 
things - and I'm probably leaving stuff out - but that's what's hit the top 
of my brain at this point.  What else would others like to have available 
to them??

Carol
