Use Complex Games’
Design Principlesto create
engaging instruction
Respecting Games:
Seven Key Things To Take From Complex Game Design:
1. Focus on keeping players engaged every second
2. Limit Frills & Eye Candy, Go For Gameplay, i.e
3. Create goals important to the player (Be a Hero)
4. Add continuous, important decisions w/feedback
5. Employ “Leveling up” (to encourage practice)
6. Adapt continually to each individual on-the-fly
7. Forget theory -- try and iterate!

The Prensky Challenge
• We will give students a fabulous future curriculum (nanotech, genetics, protomics, robotics, bioethics, etc.) in the second half of the year
• IFF The kids complete the entire year’s standard curriculum in the first half, AND
• Everybody passes the standard tests (i.e. the faster students bring the slower ones along.)
