It’s Alive! Building a Playful Unit Plan Around a STEM Game
Ellen Jameson, Justin Trewartha, Marshall Behringer

Whether you want to build a game into a set of lessons, or create a set of lessons around a game, you have a lot of decisions to make in order for your lessons to live and breathe. In this session designed for upper elementary and secondary teachers, we will join forces and lesson plans to create an über-playful game-based curriculum unit from the ground up! In the process, we’ll collectively, address common considerations in lesson planning for games such as time constraints, gameplay session design, developing activities to extend learning outside of the game, infrastructure and access issues, and evaluation and outcomes. Each of the components we make during this session could become a part of your next game-based unit plan.
