Finding and Deploying the Right Games for Your Classroom
Summary:
Finding and crafting games for implementation by individual teachers, librarians, and others
Description:
Do you already have a game in mind? If not, how do you choose a game or game engine for your needs? How do you need to modify it to fit your goals, classroom, students, and school (and maybe district)? What makes a game work in the classroom? These questions and more will be addressed, and there will be time to craft game implementations for individual teachers, librarians, and others, as needed. This conversation will cover all subjects and range from toddlers to graduate schooling. We will also investigate connection to your local standards, as needed.
