Social and Educational Benefits of Social Networks for Youth Making G4C
Location: Le Pain Quotidien
Description: One way of introducing the value of serious games and g4c to k-16 students is by engaging them in learning how to make them. In this breakfast meeting we will discuss and analyze ways in which designing and programming educational games and social-issue games can impact learners, especially their subject matter knowledge, technical skills, social entrepreneurship, leadership skills, and more. What does it take to build learning networks for g4c production? What should we know about how it works in the field?

]]>We’ve organized informal Birds of a Feather Breakfasts for you to network and brainstorm with your peers.
Here’s how this works. We’ve arranged for you to meet at several places within walking distance of the Festival location. See Discussion Locations and locations map (available at the bottom left corner of every page).
We’ve also suggested topics for you to discuss and we’ll help you pinpoint a discussion leader. See the Birds of a Feather Breakfast Topics.
That’s where our involvement ends and you take over.
* You choose the topics you want to discuss.
* You choose which discussion to participate in.
Please use this wiki to decide on topics and coordinate your Working Group Breakfast. If you need help or suggestions on discussion topics and discussion leaders, don’t hesitate to ask us. We’re here to help, but not to direct you.
