Week 03
Hand was fixed on Friday morning, but as my daughter caught pneumonia, I’m the obvious choice to remain home with her with my CAST-FREE yet wooden (not literally, obv, although I do have a T-shaped titanium plate in my finger now, T as in Terminator) hand. Thus, here are the tasks for this week, I will be back on January 24 and we’ll dedicate next week to starting the ITGS project.
- Chapter 7 – read, add key terms to wiki, we’ll work with Chapters 5-7 during the following weeks as well.
- Read the article, do extra research (techmeme.com has a variety of opinions on the topic) and write an essay on the possibility of using social media (e.g. Twitter, Facebook etc) to change the world. The article is here: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/01/tweeting-tyrants-out-of-tunisia.ars
- Watch the video and read the review. Then make a mosaic-like image (see chapter 6) of the games that have influenced/changed your life. The picture should be accompanied by oral commentary on the games’ influence/impact and also an opinion of McGonigal’s ideas. Here’s the video: http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_mcgonigal_gaming_can_make_a_better_world.html and here’s the review: http://www.bogost.com/blog/reality_is_broken.shtml
