Game On!: Using Gaming to Promote Information Literacy
This document describes plans to develop an interactive information literacy game for freshman orientation at Glenbrook South High School Library. The game aims to introduce students to key concepts like finding information, choosing resources, and search strategies in a fun way. It will have a Trivial Pursuit style format over different categories. Students advance by answering questions correctly. The game is based on an open source information literacy game created by another library and can be easily adapted. The librarians aim to assess the impact of the game on student learning with pre and post assessments.
Elena Peresada: How gamification helps to adapt a coursebook for millennial t...
You don’t know how to motivate your teenage students? They never do their homework and think English coursebooks are boring. But they like playing computer games! In my talk I’ll explain what computer games can teach us and I’ll give a few simple examples how you can gamify your coursebook using a game-design approach.
To understand how to gamify your coursebook, we need to realize what elements of computer games make them so interesting? When teachers start to gamify their classes they introduce XP (experience points), leaderboards, badges, etc. These elements help to increase students extrinsic motivation. Points and badges is a good thing to start, but we should not stop here.
Engaging games, which keep players playing for hours, do not maintain players’ interest by simply offering the ability to earn points and beat levels. What makes the game addictive is a good story, chances for players, challenges, and choices.
In my talk I’ll give a few practical examples how you can apply these game principles to your coursebook. I’ll show how game techniques can make drills and gap-filling exercises exciting. We'll learn how we can use the power of fail at our English lessons and what mechanics we can use to encourage our students to make their own meaningful choices during the lesson. I’ll explain how to create an exciting Role-Play- Game from the scratch to provide an authentic speaking output. We’ll see how game mechanics and elements of storytelling can brighten up reading tasks.
Also, I’ll point to some common mistakes which teachers make when they start to gamify their English classes.

This set describes a simple, yet effective model that can be used to help in the design of games for educational purposes, as well as in evaluating existing games for their learning potential. Further, this model can help educators formulate strategies for using an existing game within a learning context. The model will be presented along with examples of assessments produced using it.
Evaluating Educational Games : A magic Bullet
This document proposes a model for evaluating and assessing the learning that occurs in educational videogames. It categorizes all learning in a game as either: 1) Things I Can Learn - deliberately designed by creators, 2) Things I Must Learn - required to achieve goals/win, 3) Collateral Learning - emergent behaviors not impacting success, or 4) External Learning - from social interactions or communities. The model is meant to be a subjective tool for analyzing a game's learning potential before use and to structure analysis without involving players.

Lewis Diagram
The document discusses Lewis diagrams and the octet rule for drawing molecular structures. It notes that most atoms form bonds to gain eight valence electrons, with exceptions for hydrogen, groups 1-3, and atoms that can exceed eight electrons. It provides instructions for drawing Lewis diagrams: determine total valence electrons, arrange atoms with singular in middle, form bonds between atoms, and distribute remaining electrons to give each atom an octet where possible. Examples of drawing Lewis diagrams for CF4, BeCl2, and CO2 are included to demonstrate the process.
Chembond
Chemical bonds form between atoms in different ways depending on electron configuration. Ionic bonds form when electrons are transferred between metals and nonmetals, creating positively and negatively charged ions. Covalent bonds form when electrons are shared between nonmetals. Metallic bonds form between metal atoms through a "sea of electrons" that holds the atoms together.
Shift Happens
AHS received 249 new computers and 33 new LCD projectors in the fall, with many funded by grants. It has a wireless network and any device can access the internet on it. China and India's populations of high-IQ individuals are larger than the total populations of countries like the US. Rapid technological changes mean jobs and skills are changing quickly, and we must prepare students for careers that don't yet exist using technologies not invented yet. Information is growing exponentially, and computational power is doubling every few years, meaning the capabilities of computers will soon outpace human brain power.
NEW MEDIA LECTURE - Swinburne University Radio Students
The document discusses the changing media landscape and the rise of new forms of user-generated content and multi-platform media consumption.

This document provides a chemistry review covering different units of measurement including density, length, mass, time and volume. It includes SI prefix conversions and sample problems calculating kilometers from miles, mass in grams from pounds, and liters of cola from ounces and cases. Sample density problems calculate the mass of a gold nugget given its volume and the density of gold, and the volume occupied by a given mass of carbon tetrachloride using its density.
DON' SMOKE IT KILLS
This document warns about the dangers of smoking through three main categories: physical effects, mental/emotional effects, and social effects. Physically, smoking can lead to emphysema, lung cancer, heart attacks, and yellow teeth/fingers. Mentally and emotionally, smoking causes addiction and feelings of weakness. Socially, smokers may find it difficult to make friends and could be a bad influence on others. The document emphasizes that smoking is highly addictive and can seriously harm a person's health, mental state, and social relationships.
What Are Dreams
Dreams can contain messages, be strange or unknown, and sometimes dreams come true about various topics if you keep hoping and dreaming. The document also discusses dreaming of a better future without wars or global warming, and how dreaming involves hopes, wishes, good thoughts and wanting something to happen.
Momentum Pres
This document discusses momentum and the conservation of momentum. It provides examples of calculating momentum using the formula momentum (p) = mass (m) x velocity (v). It also applies the law of conservation of momentum to example problems of objects colliding or a cannon firing, calculating the momentum before and after to find the unknown velocity.

2. research done
Here are the key points I would highlight in evaluating the research:
- The product research provided useful inspiration and ideas for game elements and design. However, coming up with truly novel ideas was challenging.
- The online survey allowed collecting feedback from a large sample size efficiently. However, response rates may have been low since participation was optional.
- Interviews provided more in-depth insights than surveys, but were limited by only a small number of participants.
- Distributing the survey online made it convenient but relied on voluntary participation. Getting a good response required multiple reminders.
- Triangulating different research methods helped gain a more well-rounded understanding of the target audience compared to relying on a single approach.

Players and Avatars: Against Identification
Much study of MMOGs as well as other videogames presumes an affinity between players and their avatars. Gee has developed the concept of 'projective identity' and Bailensen, Yee and others have done extensive work exploring the Proteus effect, which suggests humans are deeply influenced by the avatars they choose, and likewise how such avatars become extensions of themselves in games and virtual spaces. Some of my own past work has explored how women strongly identify with female avatars, 'gender-swapping' at rates much lower than similar male players. Yet what of games that don't employ avatars, or rely on multiple or non-human avatars for players to employ? What of players who simply do not characterize game avatars as extensions of themselves? How can we speak of identification such instances? Is it still a useful concept to investigate?
This talk reviews some of my past research about players, identity and avatars, to offer a starting point for argument. But the heart of the talk explores instances of games where avatar presentation and use depart from our traditional conceptualizations --either by their absence or their opposition to humanoid facsimiles. By doing so this talk challenges game studies' easy reliance on avatars as proxies for identity in games, and asks what happens when players fail to use or access such embodiments in their gameplay. It suggests alternative ways to understand player agency and identification in games, and moves beyond avatars as the principle means for doing so.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
