CES Fall Forum 2016

WORKSHOP NARRATIVE AND OVERVIEW
On planet Gaia, CES educators from around the nation gather for our final journey to engage youth in their everlasting adventure called learning.  Unfortunately, Gaia faces an engagement and empowerment gap.  Though legend says there is a hidden power that we might be able to harness to provide an opportunity to solve this disengagement epidemic. If we are to use this power, we must understand what it is, how it is used, why it might be useful, and understand its benefits/limitations.  Will this solve the disengagement epidemic that Darth Boredom placed on Gaia's youth?

How might we integrate game mechanics into our instructional design so we can engage youth in learning?

MATERIALS AND TASKS NEEDED:
Tablet or Laptop (preferably).  If you don't have a laptop I will bring 2 additional laptops to the workshop
