As I continue to filter through my articles, and discuss more in depth about how to go about implementing game design in the classroom or if I should, I have come to the point where I need to be more cognizant of my process.
What is my primary goal of my independent studies?
I believe this seminar can be used as a fantastic starting point for developing a better understanding of how digital games in the classroom can help increase independent learning success of students.
What end product will I see? Application of game design into an online course unit.
How will I reach this product?
1. Research about game design. What type of designs are used? Why are these used over others? Is there documentation of their success?
2. Create a template for utilizing game design for a unit.
3. Identify 1 unit to develop. Identify elements that will be used to determine it's success.
4. Implement and evaluate, consider next steps.
Checking my progress:
I am thinking I need to check my progress weekly, by writing another post that checks to see that I am on track and that I am completing to the quality that I initially set out. As a side note to this, self motivation is very challenging in that I am motivated to learn and implement the learning, but feel at this juncture that I would love immediate feedback to feel the dopamine rush of being on the right track.
So weekly tasks should really include the following:
1. 2-3 postings with 1-2 references each.
2. A working document of culminated background research into paper, with purpose in front.
With that in mind, here is the rubric initially created to evaluate my progress:
A rubric for weekly tasks can be found below:
