Mining Minecraft, Part 1: Little gamers' digital play through a teacher's eyes
A 5th-grader’s castle. She designed and built it (and she, or rather her in-world avatar, is pictured in it – 2nd from the left with blue sleeves). Editor’s note: This week, my holiday gift to you, dear readers. Below you’ll find Part 1 of a three-part series of guest posts by teacher Marianne Malmstrom about what students learning in digital environments can teach all of us – parents, educators, risk prevention experts, and anybody else who works with young people. Editing this series felt like a gift to me, and it’ll keep on giving, because there will be more anecdotes and lessons from Marianne’s classroom over the coming months. Marianne has been a teacher and school administrator for more than 30 years (here‘s her bio). You’ve seen Marianne in NetFamilyNews a number of times. Guest post by Marianne Malmstrom When discussing youth and social media, we tend to focus on teens, texting and platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

The goal is for this database to eventually become a fully searchable online tool. The first example, Family of Heroes, appears below. Profile: Family of Heroes

The 5 Decisive Components of Outstanding Learning Games
The 5 Decisive Components of Outstanding Learning Games It's a common phrase to say "learn by playing." Different communication theories confirm this. Since the ultimate goal is to get your learners to complete the course and actually learn the content in it, games are a great way to achieve this. Here are the five most critical components of outstanding Learning Games: Goals and objectives: Games definitely help reinforce learning objectives through playing. Some games turn out to be just boring ordinary games instead of proper ones with good content. Note: You can include any number of games you want in a single eLearning course with the only condition that they must respond to initial course objectives. Rules and/or Instructions: This brings us to the next concern that trainers have with regard to including learning games and that is rules and/or instructions.
