Teaching Astronomy At The University Of Virginia, For Teachers
Michael Bentley is a professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He is teaching an astronomy class this semester for teachers who teach grades 5-9. He has twelve teachers in his class this semester.
We decided to donate 13 Cogno: Deep Worlds games to his class. That would be enough for one game per teacher and one game for Michael. On November 2nd his class played their board games. It looks like a lot of fun, doesn’t it?
I hope they bring their games home to their own classrooms to play with their students!

Hi -
This is the course instructor speaking. This class is actually being held in Abingdon, VA at the Southwest Higher Education Center (http://www.scps.virginia.edu/southwest/). One of the 9th grade teachers in the class told me he had been using the new COGNO game with his own students and it was a big hit. My own sons, ages 10 and 12 took no time to figure out the rules and get stated playing. I should mention that this professional development course is sponsored by a Math and Science Partnership Grant through a university consortium in Virginia (http://virginiaearthscience.info/).
