Picking up on what @cogdog and @remikalir mentioned about gamification – could you share new scholarship that goes beyond the meme? #NetNarr reminding us to look for the baby in the bathwater.

My sixth graders are in the midst of making Interactive Fiction story/games (we use Google Slides for ease and access), and the first step is always the planning. #netnarr Our theme is discovering ruins of lost (real or imagined) culture or civilization pic.twitter.com/11xhE150Ky

Adds a design thinking/logic flow for writing (and in this kind of story — where reader has choices via hyperlinks — that is critical). #netnarr

About Remi
Web Site: https://remikalir.com/
Twitter: @remikalir
My research on educator learning and everyday digital media practices focuses upon two interconnected strands of inquiry: (a) Enacting participatory and sociotechnical design processes for educators’ professionally-relevant learning; and (b) Investigating mobile media and educator learning across professional, digital, community, and cultural settings. I have advanced both research strands through collaborative and iterative design-based research, engagement with educators’ problems of practice, and playful approaches to professional development.
I am an Assistant Professor of Information and Learning Technologies at the University of Colorado Denver School of Education and Human Development. Since joining the CU Denver faculty in January of 2015, I have been named a Creative Research Collaborative Fellow and a member of the University of Colorado President’s Teaching and Learning Collaborative. I was a 2016 National Science Foundation Data Consortium Fellow, and through that fellowship initiated a research collaboration with the non-profit organization Hypothesis to advance Playful Annotation with Hypothesis Studying Interactive Text (PAHSIT).
