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)!
