CoSN's 12th Annual K-12 School Networked Conference features their 6th international symposium "Using Games and Simulations for Engaged Learning."

The Consortium for School Networking (COSN) convenes a national leadership conference focused on policy and effective implementation from the perspective of US school districts, states and national agencies. The theme of the 2007 conference is "Bridging Individualized Learning and High Stakes Accountability."

According to the CoSN announcement, the symposium on Games and Simulations for Engaged Learning addresses the "compelling issue of the role that games, simulations and similar software will play in schools and other educational venues. Gaming and other interactive software primarily exists in the commercial/consumer markets, yet many educators believe they hold the potential to powerfully engage learnigns, particularly at the primary and secondary education level."

Key among the issues to be explored is Metrics. The organizers ask, "what standards should be used to assess the quality of education gaming software?"
