GAMES-TO-TEACH
PROJECT IN THE NEWS
SPRING 2002.
As
the spring moves into full bloom, The Games-to-Teach team is moving
into full gear completing our 10 conceptual prototypes of games
to support learning in math, science, and engineering. We recently
completed production on prototypes 1-4, which can be found in the
prototypes section of this website. In
addition, Henry Jenkins recently published a paper for Technology
Review, Digital
Renaissance which outlines the vision for the Games-to-Teach
project. The piece has also been picked up by MSNBC and Wired.com.
NEW
PROJECT: GAMES-TO-TEACH
FALL 2001
The Games-to-Teach Project involves an interdisciplinary collaboration
of faculty, staff, and students across the humanities, sciences,
and engineering that will develop a series of conceptual prototypes
for "games-to-teach" science and engineering subjects at the advanced
high school and introductory college level. As part of Microsoft
i-Campus, a five-year research alliance between MIT and Microsoft,
the Games-to-Teach Project intends to explore best practices in
game design and production, current educational theory, and emerging
technological platforms and to apply such understandings to new
models of computer and video games that present and explore educational
content. (Read more).
