THE FIRST IEEE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON DIGITAL GAME AND INTELLIGENT TOY ENHANCED LEARNING
Exactly, I have no idea why my research goes into the game field, but by submitting to this conference I have some reflections for my original thought.
Learning should be happy, no matter what you do it by yourself or through reading, seeing movie, traveling, or games. As Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said, "Flow with soul", someone gets truly happy when he is doing something, so I think learning creativity or knowledge should be like that. Hence, my search seems becoming a game?!

Abstract
Creativity plays an important role in many learning activities but how to enhance creativity with the support of modern computer tools deserves further studies. In this paper, we propose a game-based collaborative creativity support system called Idea Storming Cube to support creative thinking and help a user form a perspective-shift thinking habit. The system analyzes the knowledge acquired from the history of user inputs and compares it with the ideas possessed by the domain expert and other users in the current brainstorming group. The system is designed to provide user-, goal- and context-sensitive supports with this mechanism that stimulates more divergent thinking. We have implemented the proposed game with a magic-cube-like HCI for collaborative idea generation. A case study for preliminary evaluation of the system is also reported in this paper.
When: Monday, June 18, 2007 - Friday, June 22, 2007 Where: Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA Cost: Participation is free! Contact: Michael Bett - mbett@cs.cmu.edu We’re still accepting applications! New Deadline: March 25, 2007! Please contact us ASAP if you are potentially interested!
Admission decisions will be made by April 2, 2007.
The PSLC Summer School will be an intensive 1-week course on technology-enhanced learning experiments and building intelligent tutoring systems. The summer school will provide a conceptual background and considerable hands-on experience in designing, setting up, and running technology-enhanced learning experiments, as well as analyzing the data from those experiments in a technology supported manner.
欣，大學社團學妹，熱心負責也好動，愛四處玩耍。畢業後歸國（澳門）服務去，前幾年似乎忙於工作，少有機會碰面，來台聚餐也總是龍神見首不見尾。但移動力之高令人折服，來台就是南北跑，一放假就是日本東南亞亂走，一有空就走到大陸去進修，即便這次我到澳門玩，也不過是她和朋友們前往雲南灑江行的前菜而已…另外，我們參觀澳門的睹城，卻是台灣眼前的借鏡丫。。。
嗚～謝謝啦～回台灣再帶你去玩三天吧～（雖然你已經很常回來了）
