This document discusses how video games can be incorporated into education. It begins by defining key concepts like game-based learning, serious games, and virtual worlds. It then explores the learning principles found in games, such as active learning, critical thinking, and feedback. The document examines ways that games can be used in schools, such as for teaching mathematics or foreign languages. It also discusses using games as the school curriculum, for example through role-playing games. The document concludes by considering ways to extend game-based learning through machinima, programming, professional learning communities, and things to consider like collaboration versus cheating.

Description Connecting to learners means connecting to the tools of their everyday world. Therefore, video games, now ubiquitous among two full generations, must be considered when examining curriculum and instruction. In this session, participants will deconstruct the learning and design concepts behind video games, examine how these concepts align with research-based classroom practice, and explore ways in which gaming should be incorporated into the definition of what it means to be literate in society today.

Role of Education in Society Understanding education in the context of society assists in understanding the intent and effectiveness of the institution (Pai & Adler, 2001). Pai and Adler (2001) noted education, “… can be viewed as the deliberate means by which each society attempts to transmit and perpetuate its notion of the good life… derived from…belief[s] concerning the nature of the world, knowledge, and values” (p. 4).
Authentic Education In order for students to obtain an authentic education, they must discover, think, act, make mistakes, and live. Educational institutions are accountable for a design that allows processes to take place in order for students to learn to be learners and become motivated through experiences.
Interplay “It is important to acknowledge that within a constructivist paradigm of learning, technology tools do not evoke the dynamics of a learning community, but rather these dynamics are the result of the interplay between content, the instructor, and the learners. Although, the affordances of tools may influence opportunities for discourse and interaction, virtual worlds are another tool for teaching and learning” (Dickey, 2005, p. 132).
Ubiquitous Non-traditional and more constructivist approaches to teaching and learning generate “student satisfaction, interest, engagement, and retention” (Sanborn, Sanotos, Montgomery, & Caruthers, 2007, p. 29). New technology tools require non-traditional approaches, however when educators are faced with planning for ubiquitous technology use they tend to produce tasks that focus on lower order cognitive skills and lower levels of learning lacking constructivist design (Gillespie, 1998; Howard, 2004). The use of technological tools of a society is important to the future success of students becoming productive members of that society (Papert & Caperton, 1999). Howard (2004) questioned the very nature technology in education. Is it precisely the unknown transformative nature of the technologies themselves that creates the stagnating fear of adoption due to the possible change impact on the system.
“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” Alan Cohen

Game-Based Learning (GBL) “Applications using the characteristics of video and computer games to create engaging and immersive learning experiences for delivering specified learning goals, outcomes and experiences”. JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_innovation/eli_outcomes.aspx
Computer -vs- Console “A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or electronic device that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions...” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console
Serious Games “A serious game is a term used to refer to a software or hardware application developed with game technology and game design principles for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. The Serious adjective is generally appended to refer to products used by industries like defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, religion, and politics.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serious_games
MMORPG A massively multiplayer online role- playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of computer role-playing games (CRPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmorpg
Virtual World (MUVE) “A Virtual World is a computer-based simulated environment intended for its users to inhabit and interact via avatars.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_world

Simulation The imitation of the reality for studying the effect of changing parameters in a model as a means of preparing a decision: www.eyefortransport.com/ glossary/st.shtml In simulated spaces learners, “cooperate... collaborate... make effective decisions under stress... take prudent risks in pursuit of objectives... make ethical and moral decisions... employ scientific deduction... are quicker to master and apply new skills and information... think laterally and strategically... persist and solve difficult problems... understand and deal with foreign cultures... and manage businesses and people” (Prensky, 2007).

Learning Literacy Engagement Teaching Play
Learning Learning is the acquisition and development of memories and behaviors, including skills, knowledge, understanding, values, and wisdom. It is the goal of education, and the product of experience: http:/ /en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Learning An exercise of constructing personal knowledge that requires the learner to be mentally active rather than passive; interpreting rather than recording information: www.maine.gov/education/highered/Glossary/ Glossary.htm The change in behaviour that results from experience and practice: http://wps.pearsoned.co.uk/wps/media/objects/1452/1487687/glossary/ glossary.html A change in the behavior of the learner as a result of experience. The behavior can be physical and overt, or it can be intellectual or attitudinal: www.rotc.monroe.army.mil/helpdesk/definitions-1/terms.htm
Engagement “What happens outside of us has a lot to do with what we choose to do, but the outside event does not cause the behavior. What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information; how we choose to act on that information is up to us” (Glasser, 1990, p. 41).
Teaching In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills. The different ways to teach are often referred to as the teacher's pedagogy: http:/ /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching Arranging conditions to bring about learning as planned: http://members.aol.com/JohnEshleman/glossary.html The activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill: http:/ /wordnet.princeton.edu/ perl/webwn
Engagement “People control their own experiences. The only way you can truly get them to behave as you wish is through the threat or actuality of overwhelming superior physical force - and even that is only a temporary solution” (Powers, 1998, p. 122). Perpetual Control Theory
Literacy The ability to read and write http:// wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak: http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy The ability to read, write, communicate, and comprehend: http:/ /www.educationoasis.com/curriculum/ Reading/glossary_reading_terms.htm
Engagement “Motivation is a key aspect of effective learning but motivation needs to be sustained through feedback responses, reflection and active involvement in order for designed learning to take place. Therefore the key challenge for effective learning with games is for the learner to be engaged, motivated, supported and interested but also importantly for the learning to be undertaken in relation to clear learning outcomes as well as being made relevant to real world contexts of practice. A key challenge for designers then is to get the correct balance between delightful play and fulfilling specified learning outcomes”. JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_innovation/eli_outcomes.aspx
Play “A like balance in mental life characterizes process and play and product. We met one important phase of this adjustment in considering play and work. In play, interest centers in activity, without much reference to its outcome. The sequence of deeds, images, emotions, suffices on its own account. In work, the end holds attention and controls the notice given to means. Since the difference is one of direction of interest, the contrast is one of emphasis, not of cleavage. When comparative prominence in consciousness of activity or outcome is transformed into isolation of one from the other, play degenerates into fooling, and work into drudgery” (Dewey, 1910, p. 217).
http://thefuntheory.com/
Engagement “The intellectual harm accruing from divorce of work and play, product and process, is evidenced in the proverb, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." That the obverse is true is perhaps sufficiently signalized in the fact that fooling is so near to foolishness. To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition” (Dewey, 1910, p. 218).

Considerations... “The use of game-based learning can change not just what is learnt but also significantly how we learn, for this reason it is important to consider all the possible implications of adopting game-based learning in your practice such as context of use, duration of study periods, technical support, community of practitioners”.

Play “Mental play is open-mindedness, faith in the power of thought to preserve its own integrity without external supports and arbitrary restrictions. Hence free mental play involves seriousness, the earnest following of the development of subject-matter. It is incompatible with carelessness or flippancy, for it exacts accurate noting of every result reached in order that every conclusion may be put to further use” (Dewey, 1910, p. 219).
Fundamental Belief: “It is important to acknowledge that within a constructivist paradigm of learning, technology tools do not evoke the dynamics of a learning community, but rather these dynamics are the result of the interplay between content, the instructor, and the learners. Although, the affordances of tools may influence opportunities for discourse and interaction, virtual worlds are another tool for teaching and learning” (Dickey, 2005, p. 132).

  • 2. Gaming and Learning Catherine V. Parsons Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Pupil Personnel Service Pine Plains Central School District, NY iSLaka: Victoria Gloucester WoW: Vyktorea
  • 3. Description Connecting to learners means connecting to the tools of their everyday world. Therefore, video games, now ubiquitous among two full generations, must be considered when examining curriculum and instruction. In this session, participants will deconstruct the learning and design concepts behind video games, examine how these concepts align with research-based classroom practice, and explore ways in which gaming should be incorporated into the definition of what it means to be literate in society today.
  • 4. Who am I and who are you?
  • 12. VIDEO GAME Take one minute and write down the first 5 words or phrases that come to mind when you hear the words “VIDEO GAME”.

  • 15. Role of Education in Society Understanding education in the context of society assists in understanding the intent and effectiveness of the institution (Pai & Adler, 2001). Pai and Adler (2001) noted education, “… can be viewed as the deliberate means by which each society attempts to transmit and perpetuate its notion of the good life… derived from…belief[s] concerning the nature of the world, knowledge, and values” (p. 4).
  • 16. Authentic Education In order for students to obtain an authentic education, they must discover, think, act, make mistakes, and live. Educational institutions are accountable for a design that allows processes to take place in order for students to learn to be learners and become motivated through experiences.
  • 17. Interplay “It is important to acknowledge that within a constructivist paradigm of learning, technology tools do not evoke the dynamics of a learning community, but rather these dynamics are the result of the interplay between content, the instructor, and the learners. Although, the affordances of tools may influence opportunities for discourse and interaction, virtual worlds are another tool for teaching and learning” (Dickey, 2005, p. 132).
  • 18. Ubiquitous Non-traditional and more constructivist approaches to teaching and learning generate “student satisfaction, interest, engagement, and retention” (Sanborn, Sanotos, Montgomery, & Caruthers, 2007, p. 29). New technology tools require non-traditional approaches, however when educators are faced with planning for ubiquitous technology use they tend to produce tasks that focus on lower order cognitive skills and lower levels of learning lacking constructivist design (Gillespie, 1998; Howard, 2004). The use of technological tools of a society is important to the future success of students becoming productive members of that society (Papert & Caperton, 1999). Howard (2004) questioned the very nature technology in education. Is it precisely the unknown transformative nature of the technologies themselves that creates the stagnating fear of adoption due to the possible change impact on the system.
  • 19. “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.” Alan Cohen

JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_innovation/eli_outcomes.aspx
  • 22. Computer -vs- Console “A video game console is an interactive entertainment computer or electronic device that produces a video display signal which can be used with a display device (a television, monitor, etc.) to display a video game. The term "video game console" is used to distinguish a machine designed for consumers to buy and use solely for playing video games from a personal computer, which has many other functions...” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console
  • 23. Serious Games “A serious game is a term used to refer to a software or hardware application developed with game technology and game design principles for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment. The Serious adjective is generally appended to refer to products used by industries like defense, education, scientific exploration, health care, emergency management, city planning, engineering, religion, and politics.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serious_games
  • 24. MMORPG A massively multiplayer online role- playing game (MMORPG) is a genre of computer role-playing games (CRPGs) in which a large number of players interact with one another in a virtual world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mmorpg

  • 32. Learning Literacy Engagement Teaching Play
  • 33. Learning Learning is the acquisition and development of memories and behaviors, including skills, knowledge, understanding, values, and wisdom. It is the goal of education, and the product of experience: http:/ /en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Learning An exercise of constructing personal knowledge that requires the learner to be mentally active rather than passive; interpreting rather than recording information: www.maine.gov/education/highered/Glossary/ Glossary.htm The change in behaviour that results from experience and practice: http://wps.pearsoned.co.uk/wps/media/objects/1452/1487687/glossary/ glossary.html A change in the behavior of the learner as a result of experience. The behavior can be physical and overt, or it can be intellectual or attitudinal: www.rotc.monroe.army.mil/helpdesk/definitions-1/terms.htm
  • 34. Engagement “What happens outside of us has a lot to do with what we choose to do, but the outside event does not cause the behavior. What we get, and all we ever get, from the outside is information; how we choose to act on that information is up to us” (Glasser, 1990, p. 41).
  • 35. Teaching In education, teachers are those who help students or pupils learn, often in a school. The objective is typically a course of study, lesson plan, or a practical skill, including learning and thinking skills. The different ways to teach are often referred to as the teacher's pedagogy: http:/ /en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching Arranging conditions to bring about learning as planned: http://members.aol.com/JohnEshleman/glossary.html The activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill: http:/ /wordnet.princeton.edu/ perl/webwn
  • 36. Engagement “People control their own experiences. The only way you can truly get them to behave as you wish is through the threat or actuality of overwhelming superior physical force - and even that is only a temporary solution” (Powers, 1998, p. 122). Perpetual Control Theory
  • 37. Literacy The ability to read and write http:// wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability to use language to read, write, listen, and speak: http:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy The ability to read, write, communicate, and comprehend: http:/ /www.educationoasis.com/curriculum/ Reading/glossary_reading_terms.htm
  • 38. Engagement “Motivation is a key aspect of effective learning but motivation needs to be sustained through feedback responses, reflection and active involvement in order for designed learning to take place. Therefore the key challenge for effective learning with games is for the learner to be engaged, motivated, supported and interested but also importantly for the learning to be undertaken in relation to clear learning outcomes as well as being made relevant to real world contexts of practice. A key challenge for designers then is to get the correct balance between delightful play and fulfilling specified learning outcomes”. JISC (Joint Information Systems Committee) http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/elearning_innovation/eli_outcomes.aspx
  • 39. Play “A like balance in mental life characterizes process and play and product. We met one important phase of this adjustment in considering play and work. In play, interest centers in activity, without much reference to its outcome. The sequence of deeds, images, emotions, suffices on its own account. In work, the end holds attention and controls the notice given to means. Since the difference is one of direction of interest, the contrast is one of emphasis, not of cleavage. When comparative prominence in consciousness of activity or outcome is transformed into isolation of one from the other, play degenerates into fooling, and work into drudgery” (Dewey, 1910, p. 217).
  • 41. Engagement “The intellectual harm accruing from divorce of work and play, product and process, is evidenced in the proverb, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." That the obverse is true is perhaps sufficiently signalized in the fact that fooling is so near to foolishness. To be playful and serious at the same time is possible, and it defines the ideal mental condition” (Dewey, 1910, p. 218).

  • 123. Play “Mental play is open-mindedness, faith in the power of thought to preserve its own integrity without external supports and arbitrary restrictions. Hence free mental play involves seriousness, the earnest following of the development of subject-matter. It is incompatible with carelessness or flippancy, for it exacts accurate noting of every result reached in order that every conclusion may be put to further use” (Dewey, 1910, p. 219).
