Whats in your gamemaking teachers bag This workshop

What’s in your game-making teacher’s bag? This workshop shares some of Thiagi's most famous 'framegames' for participants to design their own games for class. "A framegame is a generic game shell or template. It allows you to plug in new content and create a new game - instantly!" (From Framegames by Thiagi, p. 1) Using a game template lets you include your class tasks and goal content while increasing involvement of participants to achieve the learning tasks. This workshop introduces instructional tools to set up games for your own classrooms. Example games will be shared.
