Games as Dialogues Between Pasts and Futures: Playing Toward Educational Reimagination

Thu, April 9, 2:15 to 3:45pm PDT (2:15 to 3:45pm PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum J

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Practices of gaming have the potential to be cultivated to support collaboration, empathy, literacy learning, and critical engagement. Papers within this symposium explore a variety of ways that we can think about gaming practices across real and imagined time and space. We look at learners across settings, including elementary students’ paired play, secondary instructional contexts, teacher education and professional developments, and players in online communities. We will show multifaceted ways that play within gaming spaces can create dialogues between pasts and futures, with each paper considering ways gaming can restructure or reimagine normative educational structures.
