[Edu] February's Looney Academy is live

[Magi D. Shepley]

Very cool, Carol!  :)

Would you like to add some of the special education standards that I use 
to justify my use of the games?  :)  Virginia actually has content 
standards for all core subjects for special education students in 
functional classes (not that the standards are functional or address 
what these kids need to know... but that's a whole other soapbox!).  
These standards for the basis for our state exam for the students I 
teach, which is portfolio based.  I'm pleased to say that one of the 
pieces of evidence we included last year was a photo of a group Fluxx 
game, along with a photo of the different card types.  It was submitted 
as a science goal, for sorting and categorizing items by type. ;)  Yes, 
the student passed proficient in Science on the exam.
