Hi everyone in UBC TSED grad program 🙂
Â
I would like to propose to apply to Ed-Media conference to present as a group. It is in Vancouver and we do not need to have travel expenses. Two years ago, I had an experience presenting at Ed-media in research group of 4 grad students under Samia’s supervision. It was a lot of fun! More interesting than presenting alone (and, hopefully less work for each of us considering our busy schedules 🙂 !)
I think we might make a paper sharing the results/ideas on our different research topic under one theme of learning with digital technologies in multiple ways. Or, else – let’s share the ideas on the possible paper.

From JCACS:
Virtual Curriculum: Digital Games as Technologies of Aesthetic Experience and Potential Spaces
CHLOË BRUSHWOOD ROSE
York University
In this paper, I am interested in the following question: What can we learn in the strange spaces of digital games? This is not the same as asking what digital games can teach us or what we learn from digital games. Rather, I am interested in thinking about what it is we learn as we play digital games. This question of learning has less to do with the content of the game—although that is an important question too—and more to do with what the experience of the game allows us to think or not think and to be or place and time of the digital game offer us?
