Webinar Description: Games are engaging our kids in and out of the classroom. Components of gaming can be leveraged to increase student engagement and achievement through careful instructional design. In our next webinar, Andrew Miller, game-based learning expert, will provide practical tools to utilize gaming elements in the the classroom to plan a curricular unit, from larger structures to individual lessons. Participants will learn essential elements of gamification of the classroom as well as the complexities of implementation. Andrew will share example units and provide tips for effective planning. James Paul Gee says that Andrew “is fast becoming one of the leading mediators and “cultural brokers” for those of us working across many fields to make game based learning a force for a paradigm change in education.” Please join us for this innovative webinar.
