A2: I enjoy teaching games that can be treated like literature. I’ve taught the following games as units of study:

1) Portal 2
2) Detroit Become Human
3) Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
4) Final Fantasy 7: Remake
5) The Girl and the Robot
6) Sherlock Holmes: The Devil’s Daughter
7) Bound

#LevelUpEDU
Ok it's time for #LevelUpEDU Question 2!

Q2. What games have you used in your classroom or for teaching and learning?

I can't wait to hear how you all are using games. Bonus points for the most unique use of a game!

Let's get started with introductions!

I'm Kelly McNeil, Sr. Learning Experience Designer at Digital Promise - gamer, education researcher, mom and community builder (not in any specific order 😅 ).

Yes! There's definitely a level of interactivity that you can't replicate with other media. #LevelUpEDU

If this gets 1000 likes I'll finish building the game

That's why we say "or for teaching and learning!"

Learning happens everywhere! #LevelUpEDU

I think I still feel that as an adult - setting up systems and the router and also including my kids on this as they were growing up. Totally agree with you! #LevelUpEDU

This game is such a great example of a discussion a game development class could focus on.

Which perspective is the right perspective? How do you stick to your vision for a game when a loud section of the audience is clamoring for the direction you didn’t take?

Developer Reacts!

First Grader playing through my Fractions Game

I had to cut this for time quite a bit. Hopefully we'll be able to post longer clips on here soon.

A3. I’d love to explore action research topics on playful professional learning with Minecraft Education, UEFN, Unity for Educators, and Games for Change. I hope to publish research in the upcoming year. I’m always looking for accessible resources to share with our community educators. #LevelUpEDU

Can you share links with us?? #LevelUpEDU what resources do you recommend for learning how to build escape room websites? (I love them!)

What are you getting during the Steam Autumn sale? #gaming #LevelUpEDU

Looking forward to it, as well! #levelupedu
November 22, 2024 at 10:57 AM
oh I agree with this so much! Kids figure stuff out really fast and I have always gone into my classrooms saying 'no, I don't know everything and we can learn and figure it out together!' I think it is a sign of a great educator that can do this! #LevelUpEDU

My Christmas present to myself arrived, has been assembled and is in use! No more excuses not to stream with everything all set up other than feeling super down lately. Here’s to bluer skies tomorrow 🌤️💙 #gamer #LevelUpEDU

Q3 #YouthMADE #LevelUpEDU Game Design Chat

What sort of game design projects are your students currently working on?

Game Jams! (post teaching)

My company challenges creators to build new game types as we develop new features. We release templates and docs with essential info (e.g., game loops).
