Get Into the Game @ Your Library

If you are interested in hosting gaming events at your library but are not sure how to pull it all together, attend this immersion gaming experience at Lake City Community College while they set up for their eighth successful gaming event. There are three parts to the day:

  • Immersion: Play games with experienced gamers. Participants will be paired with gamers, and you will learn the basics of several consoles (Wii, PS2, XBox360) and how to play several games to understand the "learning principles" behind games.
  • Nutrition: Brainstorm, compare notes and share ideas during lunch (brown bag it or available on campus)
  • Creation: Your choice of different activities as you design your future gaming program:
    **Work on your gaming program promotion (such as creating a flyer, slide show presentation, or bookmarks)
    **Download documents for your gaming night,(nametags, registration sign-up sheets, guidelines, etc.)
    **Create your "To-Do" list
    **Take photos of what a gaming set-up looks like, then use to photo-journal this workshop and of YOU gaming!
    **Set up a gaming blog - it could include research that documents the connection between gaming and learning and literacy,photos from the workshop, or a survey for participants)

Please email Vickie Lepore with specific questions, so we can tailor this experience for your needs.

Please bring a digital camera and wireless-ready laptop, if available.
