This document discusses the concept of networked intergenerational learning and serious games. It describes how a group of educators from different levels and specialties came together online to explore serious games. Over weekly meetings and collaborative activities on blogs and wikis, they explored what makes a serious game and how games can be evaluated. The educators provided input into game design as students conceptualized and proposed serious games. Teachers found the process eye-opening and saw potential for such games to engage students in new ways of learning. The collaboration allowed intergenerational exchange of ideas and perspectives on learning.

- 27. TEACHER RESPONSES I have to admit. At first, I was a little skeptical. There was no way we were going to pull this off in a two-week period. But, lo’ and behold, we did it! All I can say about the last two weeks is WOW, and not the game. I was a little unsure we could pull this off in just two weeks but I think we’ve all done an excellent job holding it together and coming up with not only a game idea but our sanity as well. This process has been an eye opening, I never thought that I would be part of a group that would create a game proposal which could eventually turn into a real game. This has been a wonderful learning experience that has opened my world to a new type of learning and learning environment for students. As we worked through designing the game I had my students in mind and could visualize them playing the game.
- 28. Overall, I am very pleased with our game idea. It focuses on realistic situations that are important to many people living in Alaska, which should make it appealing to people living here. Because Alaska and Alaska wildlife have such a broad appeal to people outside the state, it should also be interesting to people in different locales. The other aspect of the game I like is that the game will require cooperation between different groups to make it successful. Winning will not be an individual achievement. Individual groups can achieve different degrees of success but ultimately, all of the groups must come together in the end to achieve total victory.
