While I am thinking about conferences, here's some info about a crazy Microsoft cruise boat conference. Want to go to Florida and then a cruise? In February when everyone at home is freezing? Why not go to the Game Development in Computer Science Education conference? (You knew there had to be a catch). You could even write a paper. I'm on the programme committe, which I believe means I go for free. See - sometimes reviewing lots of papers brings rewards. I may just start insisting on a cruise trip in payment for every paper I review, including student essays.
"GDCSE ‘08 – the Third Annual Microsoft Academic Days Conference on
Game Development in Computer Science Education – is a focal point for
academic efforts using computer and console games within the Computer
Science curriculum. Jointly sponsored by Microsoft Research and
Electronic Arts, the conference is targeted at both computer science
educators and researchers, promoting new efforts in the creation and
management of courses and curriculum using game development. The
conference, now in its third year, will be held aboard the Celebrity
Century cruise ship, departing from and returning to Miami, FL with
port calls in Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. GDCSE’08 will include
talks by invited speakers, presentation of peer-reviewed papers,
hands-on tutorials and birds-of-a-feather meetings focusing on a
range of topics related to the use of games in computer science
education. We invite researchers and educators to share insights and
cutting edge results relating to the use of games and game
technologies in both formal and informal educational contexts."
