According to at least one of his past students, Kurt Squire is a "total cutiepie," which may not be quite the type of professional reputation he's trying to build. The National Science Foundation, however, has recently given him a six-figure grant to continue his research into game-based learning - which is the sort of professional kudo he's doubtless pleased to receive. Designing educational games, analyzing the communities of online gamers that currently exist, and trying to find new ways to incorporate digital media and games into education are only a few of the subjects he's currently researching.
