Q: How Professor could present – showing slides/talking to camera – from somewhere on campus to a group in DC?

A:  To handle showing the speaker & then showing slides you need to send the request to videoconf-q@asu.edu and cc Jesus Antonio Diaz, the person here for videoconferencing at Computing Commons
This may work better when one of our people wants to present elsewhere…

Q: Where do I find the games to incorporate in my online course?

A:  Google the discipline you teach with "game" as an additional keyword - you will find a lot of resources to sort through. You need to play the game you pick before you recommend it to your students. Make sure that it is free, easy to understand with clear directions, and fun. I'd like to share the examples from our faculty to start with:
the Ayiti: cost of life game that Rhonda Philips integrates into her sustainability course:

The other example is from
Wendy Hollingshead Corbett:

Against All Odds - refugee survival game - http://www.playagainstallodds.com/
