A couple of links on Appreciative Inquiry(AI) (culled from a session in the iCohere environment). Both the iCohere environment and appreciative inquiry will figure prominently in the next NLII focus session (details coming soon)! I particularly like the narrative approach of AI and think that is a powerful method to communicate effectively. (it is also one of the compelling attributes of some educational games).

Bonita Bray is presenting on Using Games in Teaching and Training There is a great set of references provided. Prizes a plenty! lots of interactions and yes.. fun. We are starting with simple games (like concentration, crosswords) and moving up Blooms scale by exploring Problem Based Scenarios. I am finding that I am making a number of very broad links to past presentations. This is probably indicative of the nature of this field (and a sign that I am engaged). my own weak ties: Irwin DeVries and his disaster scenario training Ronald Berk gave a rousing session entitled "What can higher ed learn from Sesame Street" at the STLHE 2003 Taxonomy of games - (there seems to be some concern about higher Ed's ability to compete with commercial games - some further definition of the field is helpful) Rules of Play (Jim Bizzochi mentioned this in his excellent session) comments from the audience: -what about cultural differences. Can we assume that we share the same media literacy? Bonita mentions that Quizmaster is shutting down any day now (so visit the site soon)! 10:12:42 AM | # | | trackback []
