Teaching Teachers Serious Games 4 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What are new pressures on teacher education? More choices than ever before for learners. Adaptability. Ideal vs. reality. Our teachers were not that different from us – this is no longer true. Spore

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 5 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What should teacher education look like? “Technology” is a given, not an option. [more demanding than books] Allow time for practice. "Appropriate practice is the single most neglected aspect of effective instruction." (Merrill) – applies to teachers as much as students.

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 6 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What kind of teacher should faculties of education be striving to nurture? Life-long learners. Tech-savvy vs. tech-phobic (appropriate technology) Culturally aware (incl. pop-culture)

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 7 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What is DGBL? Digital Game Based Learning Serious Games The use of game technology to enhance/ support/ augment (and yes, sometimes provide) education and learning. COTS & Custom Games & Sims Some examples….. Syberia

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 15 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 Hundreds of years in the future, mankind and dolphins live peacefully together and share the earth. Dolphins, who are much more intelligent than they seem, act as the earth's caretakers, while dolphins and humans explore the galaxy. An alien force, known as the Foe, seeks to end this happy existence. The Foe damages the Earth's defense system, and alters history for the worse. One extraordinary dolphin, Ecco, must travel through time to set things right. Ecco is a 3d underwater adventure game (a “dolphin simulator”). There are more than 25 aquatic environments to explore. Ecco must communicate with other ocean creatures and learn to manipulate his environment if he is to succeed in defeating the Foe.

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 17 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 Course Structure Seminar, readings, discussion, examples, projects Themes: –The Current State of Games and Gamers; –Current state in Media Studies and Games Theory (including a discussion of violence in games); –Is Learning Fun? (Games and Pedagogy); –What Can Games Do? –How important are fidelity and validity? –Instructional Design for Games; –Making Games, and Resources for making games; –Assessing Games for Learning.

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 18 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What they learned Don’t need to be a gamer. Games are technology. Media is not neutral. Media backlash is not new. Game-based learning is here. Game savvy is cachet.

Teaching Teachers Serious Games 19 © K.Becker Ed-Media ’07 What I learned. Interest is high. Teachers are willing. Resources are scarce (equipment & information). Technology integration still lags.
