		<description><![CDATA[On the 26th Acclaim Games Inc. officially shut down its sites and games. I have to admit that part of me is very sad about this. I loved my time there and I had the pleasure of working with many very cool people. More importantly I’m rather disappointed with Disney in the way things with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m going to have to disagree with this being a relatively “new” position. Many of us have been doing this for more than a decade.

		<description><![CDATA[At a young and impressionable age, I was introduced to the concept of “learning styles”. Specifically David Kolb&#8217;s learning styles model and experiential learning theory.
