Provides background (historical and theoretical) about video games in the classroom, and explores four approaches to teaching with games. Read the notes for way more context and info—this is meant to be presented, not viewed slide-only.
Narrative skill of game content development
Topic covered:
Why Put Stories in Games?
degree of realism and emotional richness
intreactive stories
role of narrative in-game
eight-point arc
difference between a linear and non-linear story.
fold backstories and branching stories.
emergent narrative
focalization
granularity
Secrets and Snacks
Drew Davidson discusses post-secret game design and snackable gameplay. For post-secret design, he notes how games could incorporate personal privacy, 24/7 media coverage, and constant spoilers. For snackable gameplay, he describes how games can be designed for short play sessions like snacks, with bite-sized challenges and ongoing rewards. Successful snackable design considers time, flow, and reducing friction for a complete yet chunked experience in each session.
ULEARN13: Game Based Learning
How can we use games in the classroom? Don't use them because they're "cool with the kids" (that's a recipe for chocolate coated brocolli), instead used them because they're sophisticated, challenging digital simulations.

The Time is Now 5-8-2017
The Grafton Public Library Planning and Building Committee provided an update on plans to expand and renovate the library. They presented a conceptual design that is 14% smaller than a previous 2011 plan. To receive a state grant, the new library must house 85,000 items, seat 100 people and provide parking. Committee projections show rising library use and a need for more public computers and a meeting room. The proposed expansion would cost $16.6 million total but the town's cost would be $10 million after a $6.6 million state grant. The committee argued this is the best option financially and for the community's library needs.
Hpl behavior
1) The document discusses how to address disruptive and dangerous behaviors in public libraries, differentiating between behaviors that are disruptive versus dangerous and providing examples.
2) It explores possible reasons for problematic behaviors, such as biological and psychological factors, and how to set boundaries and consequences for unacceptable behaviors.
3) The document provides tips for librarians on how to correct behaviors respectfully while maintaining excellent customer service and cultivating positive relationships with patrons.
