In this assignment you'll craft a letter explaining your gaming goals to parents. You'll want to present a clear outline and rationale for why you've opted to use games and game based learning in your classroom. Try to anticipate the types of questions that nervous parents might email you. For example: will it cost the family anything for the child to participate?
where will they access the game? at home? at school? in the library?
why are you using games?
Isn't that a waste of time?
For this activity you may need to check with your school regarding whether or not they have specific permission slip templates, tool, video, or game guidelines that you need to abide by before sending home your actual letter.
