Attendees are broken up into design teams who enhance a traditional lesson with the mechanics of popular board games in only 20 minutes. For innovative presenters, game designers, or educators.
Long Description:
What does the lesson “Finding Citations,” the game “Trivial Pursuit,” and the mechanic “Bluffing” all have in common? In this bootcamp brainstorm facilitated by a professor from the City University of New York (CUNY), attendees are broken up into design teams whose job it is to enhance a traditional lesson with the mechanics of popular board games in only 20 minutes. Whether you have to teach the rules of citation or the rules of interviewing, there is usually a game plan that can help. If you’re an educator, this game teaches you how to integrate educational games into your classroom. If you’re a game designer, you can generate ideas for a new game (whether educational or not). This session provides a fun introduction to the principles of game-based learning.
