Neurons Sparking:  A Three Step Method For Using Game Design to Teach Science:  M A Greenstein, MaMaxStudio


M A Greenstein helps us discover how games can make the teaching of science, more engaging and help students achieve a higher level of retention. Presented on Thursday, April 6, 2017 at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST.

During this webinar, participants will discover three principles drawn from neuroscience research that influence the deep mechanics of student and popular brain games: the Rewards Algorithm, the N­Backing Algorithm, and the Priming Algorithm. You will also learn three principles of design thinking and story­telling used by students to generate games shown to attract the interest of the brain: Defining Your Time/Space Continuum, Drawing Your Wayfinding Map and strategizing outcomes for overcoming your Achilles Heel.
