Overview
Learners make edits based on feedback from peers to improve their game ideas.
Essentials in the Activity
Learners use feedback from peers and educators to inform the next iteration of their game idea. They review notes with their group to determine the input that aligns with their game’s goals, its audience, and other components, the changes learners can apply now, and the changes and additions to be made in future developments. In this process, learners consider the time constraint to determine the game changes and designate tasks among group members, which prompts them to utilize critical thinking and task performance skills and build their social and self awareness.
Goals and Outcomes
Goal: Learners use feedback from peers to help them identify ways they can make their game better and make those improvements.
