1. 數碼遊戲為本學習 - 家長及教師講座/工作坊
Learning through playing & creating video games - talk/ workshop for teachers and parents
Talk:
We will talk about how video games can be used in the formal education settings. Digital game-based learning has been well developed in other countries. Research has shown that students are learning subject knowledge as well as 21st century skills through PLAYING or CREATING their own video games. We will talk about how this works and demonstrate how we have been doing this in the local schools. And we would also talk about what parents should understand and act in related to their kid's problem of playing too much video games.
Workshop:
Teachers or parents may try to play our selected video games or create their owns in this workshop in order to understand how their students/ kids can learn though video games in the classroom/ at home.
2. 從創作中學習 - 數碼遊戲製作電腦/ 數學/ 英文課程
Learn through creating - Digital Game Making Computer/ Math/ English Course
The "Video Game Making Course" is an all-rounded mixed-subject educational programme developed specifically for local primary and secondary school students. Hong Kong teachers and parents are all worried that their kids are claimed to be video game addicts, but not many people realize the fact that video games can actually be educational. Game players are learning different kinds of knowledge and skills through playing and creating video games.
In this programme, students would learn about the basic concepts of game design, game development and create their first video game with the help of a user friendly game development tool. Upon finishing the programme, students will acquire game development techniques as well as generic skills such as creativity, independent thinking, problem solving and collaboration skills, etc.
The programme can be held specifically for game development. We may also organize the programme for a specific subject matter. With pre-designed course outline, students would learn the assigned English and Maths knowledge (area, volume, coordinates, writing skills, presentation skills etc) through designing and developing their games.
Course length:
The course may run from one to five lessons, details to be discussed with the teachers
Course outline:
Introduction to digital game-based learning,
Game development background,
Game design methods,
Game development tool,

The “Game-based learning classes”is an all-rounded mixed-subject educational programme developed specifically for local primary and secondary school students. Hong Kong teachers and parents are all worried that their kids are claimed to be video game addicts, but not many people realize the fact that video games can actually be educational. Game players are learning different kinds of knowledge and skills through playing and creating video games.
In this programme, students would learn about a designed subject matter or social issues through playing selected video games. They would study and understand a new concept and issue through the game play. Students may have to work in groups to solve the problems in the games and to discuss and express their ideas on the issue. Upon finishing the classes, students will acquire the designed knowledge as well as generic skills like independent thinking, problem solving and collaboration skills, etc.
