@GameSpot It's ALWAYS what they openly say it isn't. Let's know fall for the classic 'It's not what it looks like!'

#PAMLA2021 Come listen to innovative ways humanities instructors reach STEM students at their entry points.

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

Forgot I even recorded this. It's on how games can help students better understand narrative structure.

It's National #TalkLikeShakespeareDay!

What would Shakespeare think of video games? Assistant Professor of English John Misak weighs in.

@achdotorg I submitted for the Digital Project session at MLA2021 but have not heard back. Can I get an update? Thank you!

@GameSpot Breath of the Wild

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@randaelka @KevinLagrandeur It's an exciting possibility...game interactions and output as writing. How player decisions act as reader responses. So much more.

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@ETCLatUVic Thanks for having us and setting this up!

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@owilliamsdc @bowenwil @ETCLatUVic @KevinLagrandeur I agree. Horatio as Shakespeare, in a sense. Thanks for the suggestion

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@ETCLatUVic @KevinLagrandeur One was is that DH can use technology to recreate Renaissance environs, bringing students and others closer to source material.

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@angeladressen @KevinLagrandeur Yes. There are so many unexpected issues and opportunities. It taught us to re-examine our pedagogy

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

4/7 #NTRS20 Students pushed back, didn't like using devices for schoolwork, it drained their batteries too fast,and inhibited game play (which is a big and effective element of technology). We wanted tech intervention to fix probs with reading. #RenSA20 @KevinLaGrandeur

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@owilliamsdc @KevinLagrandeur @ETCLatUVic @RSAorg Increased memory retention first and foremost. It does attract student attention

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

6/7# NTRS20 We designed for ourselves (professors) instead of students. Need to consider THEIR entry point. Student feedback paramount in design. Grab interest of students first, then achieve learning outcomes. Can’t teach a class if no one comes. #RenSA20 @KevinLaGrandeur

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

@owilliamsdc @KevinLagrandeur @ETCLatUVic @RSAorg Identifying historical and cultural contexts...critical thinking @KevinLagrandeur

[Professor John Misak @ProfMisak]

7/7 We weighed in-game text’s effect on pedagogy and ‘steering’ interpretations, inadvertently imparting critical theory. Old or modern English? Voice or text narration? Future Research: student actions in-game as a form of writing. @KevinLaGrandeur
