@BCTELA@vandoza (2/2) We focused on the notion from Gray & Leonard (2018) “games have the potential to foster change through empathy and compassion” (p. 19) - exploring if and how this is true in relation to the games we play and how this differs from reading/viewing text #bctelabook2023
@BCTELA These readings that address indigenous representation that then connect to topics as the built environment, science fiction, and video games. It speaks to the wide variety of texts that can be explored that go beyond the conventional, predictable. #bctelabook2023
@BCTELA In reference to M'Lot & Ferguson's focus on "learning and unlearning" (Resurgence, p. 15) I would use the visible thinking strategy "I used to think... but now I see..." to explore the impact of a learning experience on our worldview. #bctelabook2023

M'Lot & Ferguson's advice to "have an open discussion with your students about what it feels, sounds, and looks like to respect a story" (Resurgence, p. 9) resonated with me as I think about the beginning of the school year #bctelabook2023
It was all sparked by "The Oregon Trail" video game, a video game that loomed large for not only author Elizabeth Lapensée, but for many other individuals who grew up in the 1980s. I am wondering what impact that video game had on many individuals growing up. #bctelabook2023
@BCTELA In my EFP11 class we played and reflected on Longboat's game and then ideated the "next level", thinking about what we learned from other texts we read in the course and the notion of Indigenous Futurisms (Part 2)
@BCTELA Digital storytelling enables an intimate experience for reader/players - taking on a perspective and taking action based on it. In the cooperative platformer game "Terra Nova" by Maiz Longboat players explore the Mi'kmaq principle of Etuaptmumk "Two Eyed Seeing" (Part 1)
