The Community Building Game

Michael Christensen <mic...@utaharts.org>: Jun 30 03:13PM -0700 Good afternoon, Yitzhaq!   I was pleased to receive your email. I agree with your sentiment -- I think our massive game projects are both attempts to tackle a problem that all communities face. I'm excited and validated to hear that you're team is on the same wave length. And thanks for the download!   How far along is your team in the creation of your project? Also, I'm very curious about the themes of your game. Does your game include characters?   I look forward to correspondence.   Warmly, Michael-   On Wednesday, June 29, 2016 at 8:47:49 AM UTC-6, Yitzhaq wrote:

Three New Books on Games and Learning - Knowledge Games

Karen Schrier Shaenfield <ksch...@gmail.com>: Jun 29 11:35AM -0400 Hi all,   It was fantastic seeing many of you at Games for Change last week! I am excited to announce three new books on games and learning.   First, check out two books I edited, which were written by members of the Learning, Education, and Games SIG of the IGDA <https://www.igda.org/>: Learning, Education & Games Volume 1 <http://press.etc.cmu.edu/content/learning-education-and-games-volume-one-curricular-and-design-considerations> (free to download) - ETC Press (2014) Learning, Education & Games Volume 2 <http://press.etc.cmu.edu/content/learning-and-education-games-volume-two-bringing-games-educational-contexts> (free to download) - ETC Press (2016)   Next, check out Knowledge Games <https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/knowledge-games> (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2016), my new book about using games to create new knowledge and solve problems, which was named one of the top 2016 summer tech/science books <http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnfarrell/2016/05/29/a-summer-science-book-round-up/#190ebf221554> by Forbes.   You can buy Knowledge Games directly from the publisher <https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/knowledge-games> (use discount code HNAF for 30% off). You can also buy it on Amazon <https://www.amazon.com/Knowledge-Games-Problems-Education-Technology/dp/1421419203/> .   For more about the book, read a review of Knowledge Games in The New Scientist <https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg23030751-200-knowledge-games-just-how-far-can-we-push-them/> .   I also lead the Learning, Education & Games (LEG) group of the IGDA <https://www.igda.org/>, which aims to foster an open and accessible community that can share resources and expertise, and collaborate to further the field of games and learning.   Feel free to join our google group: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/igdaleg   Join our meetings on Slack: https://igda-leg.slack.com/ on the monthlymeetings channel (#monthlymeetings)   For an invitation to the Slack group, you can invite yourself here: https://igda-leg.herokuapp.com/   Karen ----------------------------------------- Dr. Karen Schrier Shaenfield http://www.karenschrier.com   karen....@marist.edu ksch...@gmail.com kls...@columbia.edu ksch...@alum.mit.edu
