Okay, so a good portion of the design documents for the game are done. I haven’t introduced them to the class yet, but I wanted to put them up on the off chance that someone might look at them and notice something that I’ve missed.
I realize that a fair amount of this won’t make sense without knowing how the actual class works, but that’s a post for another day. Click on the images for larger (PDF) versions.

I didn’t get a chance to talk to you at NETA, but I love the idea of “gamifying” my 7-8 TV Broadcasting class! It’s a tough class to keep students motivated (as we are constantly producing a daily news program). I’m not a programmer, so I’m probably going to be going “Class Badges” or something similar…I will probably be borrowing a lot of your ideas this summer while I get this started for next fall. If you have any other ideas, please let me know! Thanks!!
