Make-A-Game Pedagogy
From Concept To Practice
The  No.3  Golden  Rule  of  Teaching  IS  *Build Confidence*

Simple Concept, Philosophy & Evidential Proof

  • Teaching Somebody to Learn Something Long and Difficult (Like Language and Math) Is Hard. It Takes a Lot of Commitment. Especially Challenging to Get Students to Learn Well and Wanting to Learn by Themselves!

  • MAG Pedagogy Is A Simple Concept: Make Teaching/Learning Like A Game

    • Simple and Interesting for Both Teachers & Students - Develop a Methodology to Accomplish the above Goal!

    • May Be Easier Said Than Done - Workshop and Sharing Experiences Will Help

    • Example, Teaching Science Via Game-like Experiments, SIS Science

  • Simple Philosophy: Employ Games as Teaching/Learning Tools & Expect Significant Results

    • Children Love Games - Just Need to Build in the Learning Elements Without Destroying Simplicity & InterestingNESS

    • Games Are Effective for Teaching/Learning - Just Need to Have Plenty of Appropriate Games Available for the Intended Kids - How to Build a Growing Portfolio

    • Integrated Learning at School and Home - Homework -> Homeplay with Peers & Family - Continuity and Reinforcement

  • Do Expect 'MAG' Results: Avoid Games Not Leading to Learning & Results

    • Example, Finger Triggering Games Merely Keep Children Occupied (*Some Crafts also like that) - Discover the innovator in Everyone - Unleash the Curious Mind - Build a Good Learning Habit

    • Example, Video: Michelle 2nd Grader  

  • Evidence of Effective Learning Through Games Clearly Exist (As a Homework, Go Find It on the Internet)

    • Learning Principles Based on Drilling and Testing Practiced in Schools and Mandated by State

    • MAG Principle Is about Natural Learning, Conceptual Learning, Self-Motivated Learning and Good Learning habit

    • MAG Pedagogy Can Accelerate Kids' Learning without Stress - Group Playing and Learning Across Several Grade Levels

  • Find Good Games Are Hard & Develop Them Are Harder without a Methodology 

    • We Hope to Show You in This Workshop
