This working examples session will include the following:
Working Examples: Come Play with Us!
WEx (www.workingexamples.org) is an online community for people who are reimagining education. We like to think of WEx as a sandbox; it’s a community based around building and improving ideas about technology and learning (e.g. games for learning), sharing work-in-progress and meeting new people and perspectives. The workshop will start with an introduction to the site, including an explanation of “working examples” and a quick run through of the site. Next, we’ll touch on some of the core ideas behind the site (collaboration, exploring ideas, and iteration) through a group activity. We’ll wrap up with a discussion about the activity and becoming an integral player in the WEx community. See our working example here!

The Time a Tablet Game Walked Into an Early-Learning Curriculum Framework
As a worked example, researchers explicate the process of designing a comprehensive early-learning curriculum framework to support a series of tablet-based interactive animated stories, along with a parental feedback loop. See our working example here!
