  3. “Madrid” by Newsgaming“simulation meets political cartoon” About newsgaming Traditionally, videogames have focused on fantasy rather than reality, but we believe that they can be a great tool for better understanding our world. Are your games biased?Of course they are. We do not believe in objective journalism. We prefer games that encourage critical thinking, even if the player disagrees with our games’ ideas.

  4. Serious Games/Persuasive Games “games with an agenda” games for persuasion, instruction, and activism” “games that influence players to take action through gameplay.”

  5. Gaming & Procedural Rhetoric “Games communicate differently than other media; they not only deliver messages, but also simulate experiences. While often thought to be just a leisure activity, games can also become rhetorical tools.”

  6. Today’s activities • FIRST: Introductions in the small groups • SECOND: Analyze the serious games that you played in preparation for today’s lesson • THIRD: Develop a sketch for a serious game based on your group’s theme • LAST: Re-join the groups in this virtual auditorium space and share your ideas for your game • Have fun!
