GameZone Talks: Edutain Me 5.0 – The Playing Classroom

The panel discussion “Edutain Me”, held in cooperation with the Landesanstalt für Kommunikation Baden-Württemberg for the fifth time at the Festival of Animated Film, is focusing on the potentials of digital games in the educational sector in and outside of schools – alongside the increasing importance of digitalisation.As part of this, the results of LFK and Initiative Kindermedienland Baden-Württemberg, which came out of the workshop that took place prior to this event, are to be presented. The aim of the task group is to develop didactically adapted concepts for teachers with regard to certain contents, to incorporate games into the lessons in a meaningful way. The biology game “Abgetaucht – ein Fischlernspiel” (“Diving down – a fish learning game”) developed by senior students of the Ludwig Uhland Gymnasium in Kirchheim Teck in cooperation with the Hochschule der Medien is presented among others to illustrate the topic.In the last few years, developers of educational games and serious games, multipliers from the sectors of politics, education and schools met to discuss the possibility of cooperations between game developers, publishers and school representatives.In cooperation with Landesanstalt für Kommunikation Baden-Württemberg.
