Redefining Learning and Teaching with Game Creation

Ashleigh BrittPresented by Ashleigh Britt of St Joseph’s School, Boulder – RESOURCES ADDED

This presentation will be exploring how game creation apps can redefine students’ learning and allow them to share their understandings in new, fun and engaging ways.

Students being able to articulate their learning by teaching others is a powerful measure of achievement.

Game creation apps fit fantastically into Modification and Redefinition levels of the SAMR model – what we are all aiming for in effective technology integration.

We will be looking at three game creation platforms – Tiny Tap, Stick Around and Kahoot. A variety of examples of how these apps can be used in the classroom, across all year of primary schooling will be shared.

The presentation will finish with time to explore each platform and create your own games before implementing these great tools with your students.

To get the most out of this workshop you will require your iPad with the apps installed. Please ensure that the apps have been downloaded before you arrive at the Conference venue.

Intended Audience: All those concerned with the Australian Curriculum – Digital Technologies,  Australian Curriculum – ICT General Capabilities, Early Childhood, Primary, Middle School
