Game+Modifications

Every year, I do a project with students regardingthe playing, reviewing, and modification of games that relate directly to my curriculum (in the most recent year my curriculum was European History and AP Human Geography). We usually have a few days during the PSSAs in which students bring in games to play from a list of curriculum-related games. After choosing from the list of games, or suggesting new games for my approval, students write their "Plogs," their "Glogs," and then some of them move to the optional "Modlogs."  Plog = Play + Blog Glog = Game + Blog Modlog = Mod + Blog  My project is loosely based on a taxonomy I made, similar to Bloom's, but related to games and education. I can discuss the taxonomy more in my session "Education and Games."
