Learning Through Play, The Old School WayLucinda Rush
Poster presentation at the Virginia Library Association Conference on October 23, 2014. This poster introduces new ideas for instructional design using game structures that students are already familiar with to teach information literacy concepts. It is well documented that millennials enjoy learning through collaboration with peers and self-exploration in a fast-paced, technology rich environment, and game-based instruction can be a great way to engage them in the classroom. While millennials are comfortable with technology and enjoy learning through video and web-based games, it is difficult for libraries with limited resources to compete with the expectations that students have based on their lifelong experiences with high-tech video games. Examples of non-technology based games that have been effective with undergraduates are provided. Specifically, a case study that the presenter conducted, of creating an innovative Candy Land based game to teach information ethics will is described. Student responses and assessment of student learning is shared.

Play is an important part of a child’s development. It builds fine and gross motor skills, social skills, communication skills, language, thinking and problem solving skills. In autistic children, play can be very limited. For example, a child may want to play alone, engage in repetitive play like lining up toys or moving from them from point A to point B and then back again, or play with the same thing over and over. Children can learn play skills with guidance and by structuring play.
3. • Creating art expands a child's ability to interact with the world
around them, and provides a new set of skills for self-expression
and communication. Not only does art help to develop the right
side of the brain, it also promotes important skills that benefit a
child's development. But art goes far beyond the factual
statistics measured by studies, it can become an essential mode
of free self-expression and amazement for children. Art matters
the same way language matters, it is a crucial component of
what makes us uniquely human.
4. • Art is important in children’s lives because it improves emotional
skills and problem solving skills.
5. • When children are involved in art at an early age, they are able to

problem can have more than one solution. Instead of going by
specific rules or directions, as they may be encouraged to do in
school and in their homes, art engages kids' brains and makes
them ask questions like how and why (Zaniboni).
11. • Creative Arts Teacher, Jo Murphy, explains Dewey Eisner’s
thoughts on art’s influence saying, “He describes a process
whereby students identify a problem, select qualities and
organize them so that they function expressively through a
medium.”
