Education Arcade Works with MPT on "Learning Games To Go"

Maryland Public Television (MPT) has announced that CMS's Education Arcade is among the key partners in their new collaborative initiative, "Learning Games To Go":

Joining MPT in this initiative are the Center for Technology in Education (CTE) and the Applied Physics Lab at Johns Hopkins University, The Education Arcade at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), several Maryland school districts, cutting-edge technology developers and education experts. The group will apply the latest research and practice to "serious games," content that is entertaining but has educational goals, in order to reach today's media-savvy youth and improve the low performing levels of middle school students in math and literacy skills.
