Games4Learning: Alternate Reality Games

Last Friday I gave a presentation as part of UNC’s wonderful Games4Learning initiative on Alternate Reality Games (ARGs). I think these games have a huge potential to be used as a teaching tool for both social issues and information literacy. I’ll be writing more about this topic in coming days & weeks, but for now here’s my slides: http://www.hiddenpeanuts.com/permanent/haefele-args.ppt

They may not entirely make sense without my narration, but I wanted to get them linked. I’ll try to give some context in upcoming posts.
