strategy. If students are not engaged, they are not
learning. Challenge-based learning is highly engaging,
proven to be effective, and develops life-long learning
skills for student success and achievement in the short
term and, most importantly, for the long term. Strategies
for effective use of project-based learning will be shared
and implemented for high impact learning that gets real
results for students beyond better scores on high stakes
testing. |

they design and other, more traditional, instruction they
prepare. Understanding game design techniques also allows
teachers to create game design assignments for students.
The key points that will be discussed in the session are
creation of a game design document, game balancing,
storyline, characters, user experience, scoring, and
competition. |
