Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay (Hardcover): Antero Garcia, Greg Niemeyer Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay (Hardcover)
Antero Garcia, Greg Niemeyer
R3,945 Discovery Miles 39 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) challenge what players understand as "real." Alternate Reality Games and the Cusp of Digital Gameplay is the first collection to explore and define the possibilities of ARGs. Though prominent examples have existed for more than two decades, only recently have ARGs come to the prominence as a unique and highly visible digital game genre. Adopting many of the same strategies as online video games, ARGs blur the distinction between real and fictional. With ARGs continuing to be an important and blurred space between digital and physical gameplay, this volume offers clear analysis of game design, implementation, and ramifications for game studies. Divided into three distinct sections, the contributions include first hand accounts by leading ARG creators, scholarly analysis of the meaning behind ARGs, and explorations of how ARGs are extending digital tools for analysis. By balancing the voices of designers, players, and researchers, this collection highlights how the Alternate Reality Game genre is transforming the ways we play and interact today.

Civics for the World to Come - Committing to Democracy in Every Classroom (Paperback): Nicole Mirra, Antero Garcia Civics for the World to Come - Committing to Democracy in Every Classroom (Paperback)
Nicole Mirra, Antero Garcia
R900 Discovery Miles 9 000 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesising perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking and Advocacy) and introduce readers to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

All through the Town - The School Bus as Educational Technology (Paperback): Antero Garcia All through the Town - The School Bus as Educational Technology (Paperback)
Antero Garcia
R246 Discovery Miles 2 460 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The role of the humble school bus in transforming education in America Everyone knows the yellow school bus. It's been invisible and also omnipresent for a century. Antero Garcia shows how the U.S. school bus, its form unaltered for decades, is the most substantial piece of educational technology to ever shape how schools operate. As it noisily moves young people across the country every day, the bus offers the opportunity for a necessary reexamination of what "counts" as educational technology. Particularly in light of these buses being idled in pandemic times, All through the Town questions what we take for granted and what we overlook in public schooling in America, pushing for liberatory approaches to education that extend beyond notions of school equity. Forerunners: Ideas First is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital publications. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.

Doing Youth Participatory Action Research - Transforming Inquiry with Researchers, Educators, and Students (Hardcover): Nicole... Doing Youth Participatory Action Research - Transforming Inquiry with Researchers, Educators, and Students (Hardcover)
Nicole Mirra, Antero Garcia, Ernest Morrell
R4,163 Discovery Miles 41 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Doing Youth Participatory Action Research offers an unprecedented, in-depth exploration of the pragmatics and possibilities of youth-driven research. Drawing upon multiple years of experience engaging youth in rigorous, critical inquiry about the conditions impacting their lives, the authors examine how YPAR encourages the educational community to re-imagine the capabilities of young people and the purposes of teaching, learning, and research itself. Much more than a "how-to" guide for those interested in creating their own YPAR projects, this book draws upon the voices of students and educators, as well as the multiple historical traditions of critical research, to describe how youth inquiry transforms each step of the traditional research process. From identifying research questions to collecting data and disseminating findings, each chapter details how YPAR revolutionizes traditional conceptions of who produces knowledge, how it is produced, and for what purposes. The book weaves together research, policy, and practice to offer YPAR as a practice with the power to challenge entrenched social and educational inequalities, empower critically aware youth, and revolutionize pedagogy in classrooms and communities. For researchers, educators, community members, and youth who want to connect, question, and transform the world collectively, Doing Youth Participatory Action Research is a rich source of both pragmatic methodological guidance and inspiration.

Everyday Advocacy - Teachers Who Change the Literacy Narrative (Paperback): Cathy Fleischer, Antero Garcia Everyday Advocacy - Teachers Who Change the Literacy Narrative (Paperback)
Cathy Fleischer, Antero Garcia
R770 Discovery Miles 7 700 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Once, teachers who knew their content area and knew how to teach it were respected as professionals. Now there is an additional type of competency required: in addition to content and pedagogical knowledge, educators need advocacy skills. In this groundbreaking collection, literacy educators describe how they are redefining what it means to be a teaching professional. Teachers share how they are trying to change the conversation surrounding literacy and literacy instruction by explaining to colleagues, administrators, parents and community members why they teach in particular research-based ways, so often contradicted by mandated curricula and standardised assessments. Teacher educators also share how they are introducing an advocacy approach to preservice and practising teachers, helping prepare teachers for this new professionalism. Both groups practice what the authors call "everyday advocacy": the day-to-day actions teachers are taking to change the public narrative surrounding schools, teachers and learning.
