These include:<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Study Island: Behaviorism game, as it is a game that rewards correct responses and reinforce learning the more it is repeated\/also gives the player results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assassins Creed Discovery Tour: Constructivism &#8211; due to the ability to explore the map to learn more about history.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Legos: not sure if this is a game to everyone but its a game to me: Constructionism &#8211; due to the playability of building things.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For Social Learning: I&#8217;d have to say Kahoot, as even though I wouldn&#8217;t always get to collab, the ability to play with a partner VS the whole class is a potential for some fun collab work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constructionism is my favorite but that&#8217;s also because I&#8217;m a sucker for Legos.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>is gamification bullshit, what is ian bogost\u2019s argument and do you agree? where have you encountered it outside of class and what was your experience?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ian argues that gamification is BS due to the fact that instead of working on making a game interesting or engaging to the player, a lot of times people just attempt to make a game with win and loose mechanics rather than engaging the player and making them feel a certain way. This reminds me of the type of games I&#8217;ve had to play for school, such as study island, where the games were more fun than the tests sure, however they were the least bit of engaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is a serious game and why aren\u2019t they chocolate covered broccoli?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A serious game is a game designed with the soul intention of being worth more than just entertainment to the player. This means that there is typically a deeper message or meaning behind the gameplay itself.  Its not chocolate covered broccoli because that&#8217;s just veggies covered in desert (AKA learning in disguise that isn&#8217;t that great at hiding it)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":254,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[139],"class_list":["post-12127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-design-studio-2","tag-marked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12127"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12128,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12127\/revisions\/12128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
