If you use games in class the big question is: How can that work? This workshop will provide answers and offer practical solutions, while the didactic concept is of less importance than these questions:

How can I, as a non-gamer, learn about useful games for class? Do I need to play everything in advance or will somebody play them for me? (Already, we can answer both questions with “no”) Which learning targets can I achieve with games? I chose the game and have an idea, but what then?

After a short impulse, this workshop will answer questions like these and many more regarding subject and according to the participant’s interests.

How can digital media support learning processes in school? Which digital media are appropriate for a playful and media pedagogical use in class? How can one support a reflected and responsible use of media? Which offers can be integrated in school?

For more than three years Johanna Otte uses webtools and free programs at schools in Berlin in order to convey knowledge with gaming-related contexts and to help students gain media literacy.
