Abstract: | In this demonstration session a novel digital approach to traditional educational role-plays will be demonstrated. GoCivics Congress is a tablet-enhanced role-play game that introduces middle school social studies students to the process of negotiation in a US Senate committee and provides practice in listening and public speaking. The game is the prototype for a larger project, GoGames, a set of games that represent a novel use of tablets-- multiplayer, augmented social reality--that streamlines the process of implementing time- tested pedagogical models such as model legislatures, mock trials, and structured debate. Session participants will view a video about the prototype's development and pilot testing in middle school classrooms. A subset of attendees then will be invited to play test GoCivics Congress, and will join presenters in a panel discussion of the game and its uses. |
