My Ada Lovelace day post: Jane McGonigal

Fortuitous timing that today is Ada Lovelace day, that I pledged to post about a woman in technology I admire, and that Jane delivered a presentation yesterday to the Game Developers Conference that completely knocked my socks off.

Learning to Make Your Own Reality - IGDA Education Keynote 2009
View more presentations from avantgame.

It's a self-explanatory presentation. Enjoy it. Her five challenges are absolutely ones I'm going to consider for next year's slate.

Also don't-miss: Jane's Top Secret Dance Off. A game designed to make you happy!
