DESCRIPTION

What if your library media center could be as engaging and addictive as Candy Crush or Minecraft? In this workshop, discover how to flip the media program and make “fun the new responsible” by applying game mechanics to non-game processes in your media program. We will explore how we can use game mechanics to facilitate more engaging and inspiring learning experiences for our students. Learn how to design tasks, stimulate and retain interest, monitor positive attitudes and provide a nurturing environment. View successful example implementations of gamification in a media center program and discuss outcomes. During this hands-on session we will employ game mechanics so that the participants may engage in a gamified experience. Learn your game personality and create engagement to develop “the strongest players on the server,” the autonomous learner.

The playerbegins the game by first going to the countrywhere the crime took place and then obtaininghints from various sources on where the thiefwent next, leading to a chase around the worldto find the thief before time runs out.The original game was designed to teach schoolchildren about the realities of 19th centurypioneer life on the Oregon Trail. The playerassumes the role of a wagon leader guiding hisor her party of settlers from Independence,Missouri, to Oregon's Willamette Valley on theOregon Trail via a covered wagon in 1848.Quest to Learns unique standards-based integratedcurriculum mimics the action and design principles ofgames by generating a compelling need to know in theclassroom. Each trimester students encounter a series ofincreasingly complex, narrative challenges, games orquests, where learning, knowledge sharing, feedback,reflection and next steps emerge as a natural function ofplay. For instance, in the integrated science and mathlearning domain, The Way Things Work, over thecourse of one trimester, sixth graders help a shrunkenmad scientist, lost inside the human body, navigate thesystems he encounters and report back to his researchlab. 13.
