Interactive Fiction (IF) & ISTE

Little did they know......one of our initiatives for 2015 - 2016  is introducing Interactive Fiction (IF) as a game genre.

Interactive is a computer game genre that offers players the ability to interact with game narrative via

text commends and is typically characterized by mainly text with few visuals.

We started in the Spring with Sherry Jones introducing Interactive Fiction and Narrative through Track 1 of the #Metagame Book Club.  Here's the page with her curated list of IF and the Google Hangout where we played some of these.

At the 2015 Conference in Philadelphia we have these activities on IF.

Monday 29 from 630 - 930

We had a "games night" or a LAN party.

This was informal, sit-down at tables of 8 - 10.

Lee Ann Tysseling had us looking at and playing IFs.

We talked IF and game narratives.

If you and/or students have done an IF we'd love to share it as a resource or example.
