[Edu] Need some teacher advice please

[Magi D. Shepley]

I'm super busy trying to do end of year IEPs, and alternate 
assessments.  Also, graduate classes.
I need to come buy those FluxxBlanxx and the labels, because I'm going 
to use the project we did for a presentation in my graduate class.  I'm 
doing a short presentation for the class on using games to motivate kids 
for learning, targeted at kids who are both gifted and learning 
disabled.  I couldn't think of a better way to show what I've found out 
then by showing the games that my students have made over the years with 
some help: the Trivial Pursuit game, and Fluxx were the best two.  And, 
Rollercoaster Tycoon.  I do want to buy EcoFluxx to do with my kids for 
our weather unit, also...
As for the other request: I am only on two listservs.  One for general 
assistive technology, and one for kids who use voice output technology.  
As much as I love Looney Lab games, I can't see that its appropriate 
information for either list.
