( Bio from Wikipedia) Eric Klopfer is a professor and Director of the SchellerTeacher Education Program and the Education Arcade at MIT. Klopfer’s research explores how educational technology, games, and computer simulations can be tools for teaching complex systems and developing cognitive and computational thinking skills. Klopfer and his research group developed StarLogo and App Inventor for Android and other Visual programming language platforms that build on the work of Seymour Papert and the Constructionism (learning theory) in education. He is also the principal investigator in the research and development of award-winning games designed for building understanding in science and math – connecting game play with scientific practice, problem-solving, and real world issues.
