Quest 9: Choose Your Own Adventure Copy
Choose Your Own Adventure
The first step in your ascent to independent game lesson design is to create a game quiz about a topic chosen from the Curated Game Thinking Sources below.
Choice plays a huge role in our enjoyment of interactive materials like the amazingly successful Choose Your Own Adventure books. In the series, YOU are the hero, and the choices you make determine the outcome of the story. Teaching and learning can be like that. Inspire an inquiry mindset in your learners, and they’ll pursue their answers with enthusiasm equal to the autonomy you provide.
In this quest, YOU further your inquiry into the world of game thinking.
