Games 4 Change as a Resource
In April a whole lot of game designers, gamers and even educators descended on New York City not only for the Tribeca Film Fest but also the annual Games for Change Conference. Games for Change (G4C) is not only a festival but is a nonprofit organization for social impact games. Not everyone was able to go (myself included) but that doesn’t mean we can look at the resources. And that’s exactly what we did over the Games MOOC Hangout. We'll also looked at the Game for Learning Summit that the U.S. Department of Education held in NYC the day prior to G4C.
Here's the Hangout breakout.
