 More “buy-in” from the students
 Opportunity to highlight different
information literacy skills

 Research suggests that educational gaming
has a positive effect on learning

Library Policies
 Can have 1-4 players

simple, manga style characters.
Create a Mii
Create your own Nintendo Wii-style "Mii"
characters. Not affiliated with Nintendo Co.
Ltd.
Minimizer
Make "lego" minifigure avatars. Not affiliated
with the LEGO Group ©.
MadMenYourself
Make early 60s style Madmen avatars. Very
cute.The head-shots are distinctive even when
made quite small and are popular avatars on
Twitter.
 Photo/Image editing software
 Microsoft Paint
 Adobe Photoshop
 Free Software:
 GIMP(GNU Image Manipulation Program)
 Picnik
 Original Information Literacy Game hosted
internally
 Uses an ASP.NET scripting language that supports
scoring and integrated feedback forms

Daddy’s servers
 Does not include scoring or integrated feedback
forms
 Apostrophes and ampersands
Magazine & Newspaper Databases
Magazine & Newspaper Databases
GBS Library’sWebsite
GBS Library'sWebsite
 Changing question format
 Unable to host the site to get quantitative
feedback, so qualitative feedback is essential
 GoogleDocs—easy to use, attractive
templates
 Firefox vs Explorer
 Pop-up blocker (works now!)
 THE DREADED NULL SET
 Changing how questions function
 Inconsistent feedback
 No scoring capability because of hosting
issue
 STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
 Concrete feedback (free response)
 Easy to update this year
 Help from Scott Rice, fix incorporated into his
own version, yay open source!
 Develop quantitative methods to assess the
impact of the game on student learning
 Pre and Post assessments of knowledge of the
content areas (finding information, choosing
resources, searching the web)
