We (students, teachers, school administrators) Care about learning and education.
- 5. Why do we keep fun from learning? 1. Learning = hard work & fun = relax. 2. Learning = pain & no pain = no gain. 3. Learning = serious & fun = pointless. We think … My subject is fun for me. So how could it not be for my students? re-think
- 6. Gameplay “Gameplay is all the activities and strategies game designers employ to get and keep the player engaged and motivated to complete each level and an entire game.” – Marc Prensky … is not just eye candy/video game … is doing, thinking, decision making … provides balance (not too easy, not too hard) … gives clear short-term goal … is easy to learn, but hard to master

- Focus on engaging your audience. Continuous thought to gameplay. Introduce content via action (minimum telling). Design something you would want friends to play. Constantly test the effectiveness & put up new levels, challenges after release.
- Always think about your audience. What will sell your game to the player. Make game to attract new audience. Product hits as interest peaks and tech advance. Align player with your brand, get them demand for upgrades and new products to buy.
