The Number One Educational Resource for the Game Industry

Session Name: Making Games of History in NBC News' iCue
Speaker(s): Jason Haas
Company Name(s): MIT Media Lab/Education Arcade
Track / Format: Gamification Day
Overview: Jason Haas of MIT's Education Arcade will share lessons learned from his work creating and studying NBC News' 2008 multimedia website, iCue. The site, now defunct, featured games among a number of activities, all based around digital "cards" made from the network's news archives. Haas will describe the Education Arcade's philosophies in creating learning games and how iCue, both successfully and not, "gamified" the investigation of history and civics. Since gamification penetrates into the education space, this session will dig into the deeper connections between learning, motivation, and games why they're crucial.
