Hi Neale. Per our discussion this morning, here are the links to additional professional educational/social issue games that you should expose your students to during your class period and ask them to blog about what they learned through playing the games, what they like / didn’t like, what elements they’d like to use in their games, etc… You should model how they write by actually playing and blogging about these games in your own blog.
