Sunni Brown | Graphic Facilitation, Infographics and Visual Note-taking. Games. Computergames, nuttig of niet voor het onderwijs? Computergames zijn er in allerlei soorten. Vechtspelletjes zijn populair bij de jongeren, zoals te zien bij de firma Monte Christo maar ook de digitale hangplekken, zoals het populaire Habbo-hotel en Second Life Games zijn educatief als de speler iets heeft geleerd dat hij daarvoor nog niet wist of als hij spelenderwijs problemen moet oplossen.

Game Based Learning Isn’t Always Electronic. You Deserve a Medal: Honors on the Path to True Love. By Maria Popova We’ve been fans of designer Stefan G. Bucher every since his wonderful ongoing storytelling experiment, Daily Monster. This month, he’s back with what’s easily his most thoughtful project yet: You Deserve a Medal: Honors on the Path to True Love — a poetic, wonderfully illustrated homage to the many braveries of modern love, with all its romantic trials and tribulations.

With 40 witty, beautifully designed medals that honor the small and significant feats of relationships, the book is an absolute gem of humor and humility. A “love medals glossary” breaks down the design and iconography behind the insignia, and three of the medals — “The Worst-of-Days Medal for Heartbreak Survival,” “The Molten Medal for Overwhelming Sex Appeal,” and for “The One-in-a-Million Medal for True Love Recognition, Appreciation, and Reciprocation” — have actually been produced as physical medals, sculpted and stamped out of metal.

The project did start in the wake of a breakup. Share on Tumblr. MiniMonos is the Virtual World for Good Green Kids. De actuele database voor de Nederlandse gamesindustrie.

Playing History. How Urban Gaming Works" As new technologies evolve and mature, they infiltrate our lives in ways we don't necessarily expect.

Cell phones and Global Position Systems (GPS) have their obvious uses -- you can make and receive calls when away from home, and you can easily find places or people, including yourself if you get lost.

In this article, we'll see what urban gaming is all about, find out how it works, and explore the potential of games and technology. SERIOUS GAMES MARKET.
