Education
Maintaining ties to education and art, Spiegel has also continued working closely with post-secondary institutions around the world. For several years, Spiegel collaborated with the Annenberg School at The University of Southern California in a study on the impact of interactivity in learning among children, and installed "Immersion labs” in post-secondary institutions such as Harvard University, University of Toronto, and Sheridan College. He has also penned the foreword for two textbooks on video games, guest-lectured at the University of Queensland, Australia, and has appeared as keynote or guest speaker at numerous international events, including the Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment, Trondheim Matchmaking (an annual international festival for electronic arts and new technology), the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney (Australia's largest and most popular museum), SIGGRAPH Toronto, DEAF Netherlands, and the USC Annenberg Workshop on Games for Learning, Development & Change .
In 2006, Stacey Spiegel and Dr. Rodney Hoinkes presented a talk titled “The Evolution of Real and Virtual Communities” at the University of Toronto. In October 2007 Spiegel inspired an international symposium at the University of Western Ontario called "Playing the Gallery: The art of games", which focused on understanding issues between virtual reality and the implications for social change and technology-driven environments for creative expression. In the mid-1990s, Spiegel was an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto. He is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Software Engineering and Game Design at McMaster University.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“She gave high counsels. It was the privilege of certain boys to have this immeasurably high standard indicated to their childhood; a blessing which nothing else in education could supply.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One of the greatest faults of the women of the present time is a silly fear of things, and one object of the education of girls should be to give them knowledge of what things are really dangerous.”
—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)
