Addressing Science and Technology Standards through On-Line Games
There
is growing evidence that online games are an effective way to promote inquiry
learning and to expose students to higher-level thinking. Games can provide a context for
applying concepts that may otherwise seem irrelevant to students. At the same time, games address
technology integration into the science classroom. Even more unique is the role games can play in promoting an
awareness of STEM careers. In this
workshop, speakers will address the educational aspects of on-line science
games that are aligned with the Science Standards and participants will play a
selection of science games to have personal experiences with the world of
games.
