w they might be used as a learning environment, Here is the adventure I cre=
ated for the NAIS classrooms of the future which includes a link to a game =
I created for a hands-on workshop. This game teaches about ARG's as a learn=
ing environment through actual game play. There is a prize at the end. Unde=
rstand that these games usually have "puppet masters" helping to play the b=
ack story of the game. This game needed to stand on its own so it is fully =
automated. That means you can cut to then end if you understand how these g=
ames are played as the actual responses will not be "fact checked". This is=
something that the teacher (puppet master would do in an actual game). The=
se games are also played collaboratively with groups forming with the inten=
t of solving the puzzle and getting to the "pot of gold". Feel free to form=
a group somewhere if you want to play collaboratively. Early games, groups=
formed out of necessity with little formal structure. Today, these games o=
ften make use of social network sites such as Facebook (Ning- as many of us=
are already there) for collaboration.
Have fun...
Alternate reality game adventures developed for Classrooms of the Future at=
the 2009 NAIS annual conference.
