GameZone Talk: Edutain Me 4.0 – Games in School Teaching

Together with the Media Authority of Baden-Württemberg (LFK), we will look at Edutain Me 4.0 games in school lessons. In this year’s discussion round with best practice examples, we will concentrate on the use of games in school lessons and, while considering digitalisation, talk about possibilities for gamification in the area of learning, education and continuing education together with education policy makers and game developers, media educators and publishers. During the discussion, the results from the LFK and MFG Medien- und Filmgesellschaft Baden-Württembreg’s work will be presented. Before the ITFS, they created a special working group to examine what needs and requirements teachers have when it comes to games in school lessons. First, Michel Wacker (Gentle Troll Entertainment, Würzburg) andJulia Weber (BWHT, Stuttgart) will present their project “MeisterPOWER”, which was developed for school lessons in Baden-Württemberg to introduce students especially to trade professions in a gender-neutral way.Speakers: Dr. Susanne Eisenmann (Ministerin für Kultus, Jugend und Sport des Landes Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart), Dr. Ilas Körner-Wellershaus (Verlagsleiter Urheberrecht & Kommunikation, Ernst Klett Verlag GmbH, Stuttgart/Leipzig), Dr. Wolfgang Kreißig (Präsident der Landesanstalt für Kommunikation Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart), Jasmin Srouji (Tinkertank, Ludwigsburg), Michel Wacker (Gentle Troll Entertainment, Würzburg), Julia Weber (Baden-Württembergischer Handwerkstag e.
