This year in Globaloria, I hope to be able to inspire my students to be as creative, motivated and socially aware as possible. I want to be able to lead the class in such a way that these young adults are really into creating games that reflect their own learning about the topics of their own choosing. I do not want them to feel intimidated about the process but to look at this class as a journey of their own making. I hope that they will come to be the facilitators of the class, that as we travel on this learning path, that the students are the one doing the leading of THEIR OWN Learning.
I hope that the games that they are creating are completed, with good graphics, good information and unique. I want them to make games that are creative and fun to play and that show the talents of my students because I know that they can do this, they just seem to think that they can’t or don’t want to give the impression that they know how to do this.
I am really concerned that the students will not motivate themselves. I know that no matter what I SAY to them, it comes down to what they are willing to put into the process. I do plan to place my own incentives along the way so that students will feel that they are accomplishing for themselves as well as the class and their peers.
