@ohsoearly @gamestarmech teaches game design concepts through the game (in the quest mode) #edtechbridge

MsDawnNBCT09 Sep 21 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A5 teach responsibility, accountability & dangers that still exist in social media. Shopping & effect on your credit score! #edtechbridge

lilfootsie Sep 21 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A6 stop making RPGs about the topic. Please. #edtechbridge

WriteOnJulie Sep 21 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@thomarie This makes me think: how about citation skills! #edtechbridge

KellyKillorn Sep 21 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A5: let's ask our students the same question instead! Get them thinking & creating instead of us always leading #edtechbridge

katyamuses Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @ohsoearly @gamestarmech Yep! Gamestar Mechanic! #edtechbridge

PBJellyGames Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@MI_CTN I think that would be a tremendous game. Very tough, but valuable! #edtechbridge #empathy

perfinker Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@aryah_fradkin If Ss find it boring Ts prob do too Just sayin'! #imaginED Need T engagement 4 good teaching--can gaming help? #edtechbridge

katyamuses Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6. Teachers don't have unlimited time/resources 4 games. Small, targeted, simple games work well and can be more fun! #edtechbridge

ohsoearly Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6 I'd like to see more games that are directly linked to standards - if they're out there let me know #edtechbridge

katyamuses Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@lilfootsie What do you mean? Example? #edtechbridge

I just joined so what are we talking about right now? #edtechbridge

nogginfuel Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6. Focus on team member interactions and learning from one another. #edtechbridge

MsHoughton Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6: Think about our underserved kids: folks with limited English skills, ancient tech devices, and high device-to-kid ratios. #EdTechBridge

aryah_fradkin Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@katyamuses games should be one tool teachers can use..dont have to last the entire period or accomplish all learning #edtechbridge

perry101a Sep 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6 Clearly state the instructions so kids understand what to do, and leave a comments section for questions & recommendations. #edtechbridge

A6: give Ss voice and involve them in the process.UX should involve the user;be mindful of accessible and inclusive design. #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 7:51 PM EDT

@Rdene915 @katyamuses we use it every now and again #edtechbridge

lilfootsie Sep 21 @ 7:51 PM EDT

a6 nothing designers shouldn't already be doing - user testing, iterating, focus on fun, and that learning goals are met #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Sep 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A6: might be preaching to the choir here, but get all stakeholders (Ts, Ss, Parents) involved in all phases of design and dev #edtechbridge

KellyKillorn Sep 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

.@MI_CTN learning community guided, w/T & Ss having equal say. #edtechbridge

aryah_fradkin Sep 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

@perfinker exactly T's probably would like those games for "dry" stuff too #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

PBJellyGames Sep 21 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@MI_CTN There's no benefit to talking with Ss about the theories of empathy. They need to experience and feel to develop it. #edtechbridge

thomarie Sep 21 @ 7:53 PM EDT
