We won CODIEs!

June 9, 2010 by marjee

We submitted our 3 energy unit games as one packet of games to the Software and Information Industry Association’s award for Best Educational Game.

This is very much an “its just nice to be nominated” situation. Winning was highly unexpected and a huge honor. I’m really proud of our energy suite of games as it highlights the most important learning objectives in a middle school energy unit using a variety of game mechanics that are all engage and all privilege engagement, learning, and classroom usability.

Check them out!

  • The Professional Me

    I’m the school based technology specialist for Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, where I work to better integrate technology with instruction and help my teachers develop a deeper understanding of what digital technologies can bring to the classroom. In my previous work, I created educational science games for the Jason Project with National Geographic, and worked on an online professional development program for teachers for PBS. I’m also a PhD student at George Mason University where I study online learning, science education, and educational research methods.
