#TCCGroup ‘s Kathleen O”Conner speaking to different methods TCC uses to listen to voices typically unheard in evaluation.

Friends, I'm very excited to join Lotus Rise. While I'm still an active evaluator, I've seen too many social sector organizations struggle and collaborations fail due to a lack of needed tech and a space to really collaborate. Lotus Rise is intended to address these issues.

Just wrapped up our session on evaluating the social impact of games. Thank you to my participants, you were great! #g4c2024 @TCCGROUP #eval #gameeval

About to start my workshop on evaluation of social impact of games! #g4c @TCCGROUP

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Gaming can affect positive change for people, not just in the direct experience, but also through a group. “I walked into the room & could see people like me for the first time.” - Blake Hunt, E-Sports Quad God #g4c2024 @TCCGROUP

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Incidentally - for my non-gamer friends, RPGs are roll playing games. Discussion in this session is building healthy & safe groups. Creating communities that can do amazing things in support of each other with establishment of safety rules. #G4C2024 @TCCGROUP

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Games help a person or group address an issue or escape from it. Challenge is to discover what a player wants to do. Great examples finding the right game & understand stories players want to create to fit need. Great panel on tabletop RPGs build/support. #G4C2024 @TCCGROUP

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Ava Volandes of Mojang Studios highlights the power of not only using games as a tie for fundraising, but the importance of connecting with other entities focused on positive impact to affect and demonstrate change. @G4C @TCCGROUP #g4c2024

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Deborah Mensa-Bonsu - talking about tweaking established games to include impact messaging in the Green Jam. To reach players at scale, it is possible to adjust a game versus creating new games. @G4C #gamingforimpact @TCCGROUP

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Let’s play to learn how approachable evaluation of games’ impact can be. Join us tomorrow in 502/503 - we’ll play as we explore the opportunities and help, evaluation can provide to capture & assess effects on players and larger communities. @G4C @TCCGROUP #g4c2024

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Excited to be at @G4C Games for Change. Looking to learn more about how developers of games & VX are building games to effect positive change. Follow along as I enjoy this journey over the next two days. @TCCGROUP #g4c2024

Thinking of a new metric for conference success…. The cell phone camera shot count… the number of pictures taken of a presentation’s slides. By this metric, Kathleen O’Connor’s session is very well received! #Eval23 @TCCGROUP

We are stewards of other people’s stories and data. We need to be careful to listen to the right people. - Kathleen O’Connor #Eval23 @TCCGROUP

Some definitions of evaluation e thinking. All share critical thinking - but what is critical thinking? - Polivy

[Charles Gasper @KarcsiG]

Before you ignore the idea of stepping back from building Evaluative Thinking - it can help fight against misinformation #eval23 @TCCGROUP

Polivy - speaking to the “lynchpin” of Evaluative Thinking #eval23 the first step to building good evaluation capacity in organizations
