Current Plans

So, I just wanted to post an update on our current plans.

We want to submit a poster proposal for the Association for Computer Educators in Texas conference (http://acetweb.org/index.htm). We want to submit a literature review over teaching CS concepts through gaming. I have never done a literature review before, so I'm sure I'll learn a lot, and I know it will be good to learn for future research.
