To get some exposure to what is out there, how it can be used and the kind of impact it can have, enjoy the experience below.<\/p>\n

1. Discussion : Personal gaming experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I started thinking about digital game-based learning, I had a flashback to a lame learning game I played in Entrepreneurship in Junior High School. It was a game that involved running a basic business (hot dog stand). Although it was lame, I remember it. It was something different from what we were normally doing in school.<\/p>\n

For the introductory discussion, post a flashback of your own to a personal experience you have had with digital game-based learning (not necessarily as an adult), and give a quick evaluation of the experience on the blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Discussion : Review a game.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the interest of understanding games we decided it would be only fair if we asked you to play one. Your next task is to choose a game from the list to play<\/del> seriously review on the\u00a0 blog<\/a> as if you were an \u201cEducational Venture Analyst\u201d (EVA). If you have another game you would like to review please make sure you add a link so everyone can find it.<\/p>\n

To start, please take a quick look at each prompt, and then select one to review. Once you have made your selection, post your review of that game in the reply section on the team pics page<\/a>. Give us a quick idea of why you chose that one and what in what context it could be used. Flex those analyst muscles. Feel free to engage in discussion with others based on their posts as well.<\/p>\n
