topic I didn't see anywhere that may be interesting is the new research around esports, but I'm not sure if that really fits into this course.

If you decide to merge this week and the one before it, this might be a good spot to talk about edutainment, the work coming out of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, and Twin Cities Public TV. I saw Wisconsin Public TV is also looking to hire someone in this area.

While Quantified Self isn't a focus of mine, I think it is a neat and growing thing that would be good to talk about.

Pokemon Go?

Another possible reading if you want more is "Why Game (Cultures) Studies Now?" by Steinkuehler. I have a pdf if people want more to read.

I enjoyed Ben's comment on making these more interactive with activities than only being lectures. Lecture for part is fine, but I think it will be more engaging if we can find other ways to present the materials.
