As we start a new quarter, I encourage you to challenge yourself to enhance your courses through various technology resources available. Connecting with our students through various technology enhancements helps us to connect with them on their playing field. For the younger generations, in particular, many are used to "learning" through "playing." Implementing "learning games" into your coursework is a great option to help students engage with and comprehend the course material on a deeper level.
A great "leaning game" option is the use of the website Parade of Games.
Using their own words, "The Parade of Games web site was created to provide educators and trainers with easy-to- assemble educational games in a technology-enhanced environment to support key learning points. The site demonstrates the creative use of popular game shows and other familiar games to reinforce learning."
I encourage you to check this site out, give one of the game formats a try with your students (they are really easy to use!), and let me know what you think.
Thanks!
