In current work, we're building tools for helping kids reflect more deeply on their gaming to hopefully spur some of the processing required for those experiences to become personally meaningful. Fullerton & Farber's theory of player response is a huge inspo here. (see bsky.app/profile/docf...)

Video games, like novels, can give meaning through its playable narratives and provide a mirror to its players, or a sliding “glass door” into other cultures. ⭐CLA Blog - A New Theory of Player Response: connectedlearning.news/cla052025 @docfarber.bsky.social #LearningThroughPlay

🌟 ICYMI - our new blog with @docfarber.bsky.social on his latest book co-authored with Tracy Fullerton, The Well-Read Game: connectedlearning.news/cla052025 ”Imagine how our world might change if our powerful responses to games were shared and celebrated as openly and thoughtfully as with books.”

🎮 What happens when we play? 🤔 @tracyfullerton.bsky.social and @docfarber.bsky.social's new book proposes a new framework of interpretive play that explores “the ephemeral and emotional responses that occur when people are in a state of play”. connectedlearning.news/cla052025 #ConnectedLearning
