Wednesday, November 7th at 4:00 PM ET- edWeb.net Presents- Transgressive Play: How Games Invite Kids to Break the Rules and Why Its Great for Learning
Are you interested in implementing games in the classroom? Join edWeb.net on November 7th for their community’s next webinar when instructional technology specialist and game designer Marjee Chmiel will be exploring transgressive play, what it means for educational games, and its implications for practicing educators. Transgressive play includes breaking rules, competition, searching for game exploits, and exploring taboos. With over 97% of school-age children having had played a video game “yesterday”, kids bring certain expectations and habits of play to educational games. Often, educational game design fails to anticipate these habits and expectations, making it harder for teachers to achieve desired educational outcomes. Marjee will show how transgression can help promote learning. She also will share examples from games that maximize learning via transgressive play elements as well as classroom management strategies for implementing games for learning. Join her on November 7th to learn how and why transgressive play is great for learning.
