Valve software is a commercially successful gaming company and this past year they began a new educational initiative called "Teach with Portals." Based on their very popular Portal video game series, Teach with Portals is an access point for educators, students and researchers to look at video games and learning in a new way and to use some really great software. In this presentation we explore the whole Teach with Portals idea, look at one teacher's experience as a beta-test teacher for the Portal 2: Puzzle Maker, talk about some of the big ideas behind video games in the classroom and look at what educators across the country are doing with the Portal 2 and Puzzle Maker software.
