Class 3 - Reflections
Dear teachers,
We'll need your feedback about the first class.
1) How do you usually teach the topic 'Development'?
2) Personal response: How was the overall gaming experience for you? Which part did you enjoy the most? Which part of the game was difficult?
3) From the teacher's view point: Do you see this game as a potential teaching tool for the topic 'Development'? Would you use it? Why/Why not? What is your role like in a classroom where this game is used for teaching? If this game can be used for 'teaching Development' - what concepts or content do you can be grasped by the students?
4) For training purposes: For training workshops - what critical components you think must be included for another teacher to use this game for teaching? What could be some potential challenges that prevents teachers from using this game?
5) Any other comments / feedback you'd like to share?
