ETEC 544

Welcome to my ETEC 544 Journey

ETEC 54 is the UBC Masters of Educational Technology course "Digital Games and Learning". 

I will be posting my "Intellectual Productions" below on various pedagogical and technological concepts. The content is in reverse chronological order with the newest posts at the top. Please feel free to explore and email me at bholt@sd44.ca if you have any questions. 

My mind map was built using themes from the chapter of this book titled "What is a Game?" 

Egenfeldt-Nielsen, S., Smith, J. H., & Tosca, S. P. (2020;2019;). Understanding video games: The essential introduction (4th ed.). Milton: Routledge. doi:10.4324/9780429431791
