Some MOOCs mostly utilize an outdated “sage on the stage” pedagogy. We are hoping participants will lean forward and actively participate, not lean back and passively receive information.</span></p>

Our theory is to make our MOOC "guilt-free." Take what you want and can. "You haven't fallen behind." We invite you to join us when it works for you.</span></p>

<p>One specific thing that I am looking for are games that I can use in class. I have recently been using Quia, but honestly you can't call that activities on Quia games. Don't get me wrong the kids like using the website, but it isn't quite game based learning.</p> Education Technology Eventtag:www.classroom20.com,2010-10-08:649749:Topic:5158802010-10-08T15:18:20.093ZMike Beverlyhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/MikeBeverly

I teach in a full day multicultural Kindergarten in Abbotsford BC. I am interested in integrating more technology ie. digital cameras and video recorders in my classroom and more specifically, getting the students to use the technology while they inquire into topics of interest. One project area I'm considering for the beginning of the year is exploring the school environment and would welcome any ideas to integrate technology.

<div>A new group has been started to discuss the best ways to implement inquiry based learning. We know that this type of authentic learning is the best for our students, but the reality of our teaching world can be quite different. The goal of the group is to exchange ideas so we can find practical ways of implementing learning based on inquiry. We would love to have you come by and give a few ideas and take a few ideas. Hope to see you there!…</div>

r.e. European Union funded education project – Institution, Country<br />
<br />
ARGuing for Multilingual Motivation in Web 2.0 (ARGuing) is a European Union education project.<br />
<br />
The project has created the first use of an Alternate Reality Game for motivating secondary school students to learn languages. The project has also learnt how an ARG can be adapted to almost any area of education.<br />
<br />
The game that was created was called ' The Tower of Babel' and included a story designed to engage the target student group. The students had to save the planet by completing specific quests, collaboratively and internationally. The project has been a huge success with over 400 teachers and students from 17 countries playing the game ' The Tower of Babel'. In the final pilot over 9,000 quests were answered and 800 files uploaded.<br />
<br />
The project has created a number of resources that are available online, these include:<br />
1. A re-usable game platform (on a Moodle platform) that includes multiple languages <a href="http://ictthatworks.net:8080/moodle/">http://ictthatworks.net:8080/moodle/</a> - you can view inside the platform by sending an email to me. Please place in the subject line of the email – TofB platform<br />
2. A project website with additional information <a href="http://www.arg-education.eu">http://www.arg-education.eu</a> . On the website are papers to download including:<br />
a. A methodology to make and use Alternate Reality Games in education<br />
b. A set of case studies of other ARGs and serious games with empirical evidence of results<br />
c. A set of use case scenarios that show examples of how ARGs could be used for other subjects or cross-subjects<br />
d. An online teacher training course to enable educators to use the ARG the project produced<br />
e. Summaries of papers on the pedagogy, evaluation and the technology employed. (full papers are available in the conference proceedings of the 3rd European Conference on Games Based Learning http://academic-conferences.org/ecgbl/ecgbl2009/ecgbl09-proceedings.htm )<br />
<br />
The project team are also offering consultancy services to other educators interested in using ARGs in education.<br />
<br />
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.<br />
