Serious Games for Social
Change

3. What are the burning
issues in your community
(as discussed at home, in
newspapers, etc.)? Create
a list
Can we classify them? Are
there common themes
among your communities?
ENGAGE

4. ENGAGE
Think of games you enjoyed
as a child or still do. Why
do/did you enjoy them?
What attracts us?
How can it be put
to use in
education?

5. EXPLORE
Play at least 3
different games
from the list.
What are the issues presented?
What have your learned? What is
missing? How do you think this can
be used in the classroom?

6. EXPLAIN, EVALUATE
Games are very structured.
What are the rules in a game? What is
the outcome? What makes the game
engaging? How can you make sure
players are learning?
How can games be
rewarding? What are their
scoring systems? How do they
help create a community in
your classroom? How can we
leverage games for good?See
the demos of creative uses of
video games. Video “Layer of
Games”

7. ELABORATE
Design a game, adapt an
existing game, create a
lesson activity that uses
similar methods
Evaluate and select a
game that you can use in
the classroom; create your
own game using the
available programming
software
