Re: [Edu] Need some teacher advice please

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.

Hey all

Two weeks ago, I posted here about the new Academy page that had just gone up:
http://www.looneylabs.com/Academy/index.html

... and then last week I'd asked if anyone was doing anything for Earth Day.

I've gotten almost no response. Yes, Kimberly and Kate did chat for a moment - but it's been really quiet here lately. And there's been no nibbles on the Teacher's Special that I talk about on the Academy page.

Nobody's ordered any EcoFluxx for their classroom.

So... here's the question - or the advice I'm looking for:

1) What's up?  Is it the time of year that everyone is so crazy busy?
2) Is the special not "special" enough? What would you like to see instead? 3) Are we just not getting the word out enough? If so - where else should we go (we're talking "free" here too - not asking if we should pay for ads in educational publications...) 4) Was the content of the Academy posting not meeting needs? It's been a big echo of nothingness here folks - what do I need to change???

thanks!
Carol
