- Introduce self – name; position; school context
- Ask teachers to brainstorm what they think is games based learning? Have they used it? Have they heard of it?Some stats on video games
- Play Sonic Racing – Introduce the game and give instructions – Hand out worksheets – Discuss results
- Designing games involves students working out a narrative, working out a difficulty curve, looking at patterns to code, working out how to fix errors and working as a team. I coordinate a student technology team called Laptop LeaDERs, which do a whole range of stuff, but for the past 5 months they’ve been designing a game for year 6 orientation day.
- Using games as texts
- Games allow a level of interactivity that isn’t possible without games. Play the News is a website that turns real-life news stories into a game where players read the news first, then read everyone’s positions, then takes a role and then makes a decision. Players can make a comment in forum and there are decision trends.
- Games allow you to take on an identity as experience another world – Describe Darfur is Dying

People learn most deeply when they take on a new identity that they really want.Games allow students to immerse in learning and pick up cues such as visual cues and vocab. It’s like learning a new language in that country as opposed to learning the language in a classroom.
