Extra Credit List of Games for Education

The team at Extra Credit, a web video series dedicated to games and game culture, have compiled a very useful list of games they deem suitable for educational purposes in the online store Steam. Check it out!

shameless plug: narRITives project space

Andrea and I have begun working with Brian Larson in CIAS to develop narRITives, an interdisciplinary project to develop and curate digital stories from RIT. See here.

Andrea and I will talk about this project when we meet up in March (after the February meeting focusing on GBL with Trent). We will also discuss each of our approaches to project-based and problem-based learning. More information forthcoming!

Next meeting: 2/29/16 for dinner and conversation

I finally found a use for this image—love it! Juilee

 

For 2/29 Trent has asked us to:
1) read two articles
2) play one game  "Aviti: The Cost of Life"& 
3) take a stab at designing an assignment, unit, or course that takes advantage of some game or game-based principle.

When we meet, we will discuss the readings and workshop ideas and plans.
See you at 5:45!
