Goal

Devise an educational game for the pre-conference attendees.


Objectives

  1. Introduce players to educational gaming.
  2. Introduce players to education technologies available at PSU and elsewhere.

Process

You will have 4-5 "quests" you must complete to win the game. This is a collaborative game where everyone wins. You will start the game over a month prior to the Symposium and have four events occur on the web asynchronously. The last event take place during pre-conference time and involves collaboration. Participants will learn about education technologies by using them (however briefly) as they play the game.
