Interested in learning how to use games in your classroom to engage students with curriculum? Join us on September 11th when Emily Treat, Senior Producer at Games for Change, will show us how game design activities can be used in the classroom for more meaningful learning experiences for your students. 

 

She will give us a guided tour of an open source design software program, with a hands-on demonstration of how to quickly introduce features followed by activities which demonstrate how game design can be integrated into lesson plans. You will be encouraged to follow along in demo and to explore features to illustrate simplicity of software. 

 

The session also will outline potential frameworks for using game design for introducing, practicing, and reinforcing learning concepts. Emily will include tips on how to encourage student exploration while keeping them focused on curricular content.  Join Emily to learn how to integrate game design activities into your curriculum.
