The events of the first day of the November 2009 Globaloria Academy went by as "fast and furious"! We covered numerous aspects of the wikis and blogs and jumped into the game playing toward the end of the day. Our assignment was to play the various games and review two games from two different genres. My chosen games were:
Genre 9 (Quiz Game: "Rice Game") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quiz_game ;
(http://www.freerice.com/
Genre 4 (Strategy Game: "Jury of 12") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategy_game
http://www.texaslre.org/jurygame_intro.html
Of the games I attempted to play, these two games were more interesting to me than the interactive, button-pushing-type games. However, the broader audiences (students) of today would probably not share my viewpoint on this. Other educators played and reviewed a wide variety of the games cataloged in the library. Of course, having this variety is necessary for the educational appeal of Globaloria to be successful in our diverse classrooms.
