Includes bibliographical references and index.Science in gaming -- Technology in gaming -- Engineering in gaminig -- Arts in gaming -- Mathematics in gaming."Video gaming and STEAM have quite a bit in common. Regardless of what video game you play, each one has five core elements: science, technology, engineering, art, and math. STEAM in Gaming examines game aesthetics and mechanics. See how the art of aesthetics dictates how the game looks and feels and what you will see and hear when you play the game. Then, delve deeper into the engineering and mechanics that dictate how the game is played. Next time you play your favorite game, you will look at it in a whole new way! "--

The game believes in you : how digital play can make our kids smarter / by Toppo, Greg,author.(CARDINAL)410047;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 224-242) and index."What if schools, from the wealthiest suburban nursery school to the grittiest urban high school, thrummed with the sounds of deep immersion? More and more people believe that can happen - with the aid of video games. From Greg Toppo, USA Today's national K-12 education and demographics reporter, The Game Believes in You presents the story of a small group of visionaries who, for the past 40 years, have been pushing to get game controllers into the hands of learners. Among the game revolutionaries you'll meet in this book: *A game designer at the University of Southern California leading a team to design a video-game version of Thoreau's Walden Pond. *A young neuroscientist and game designer whose research on "Math Without Words" is revolutionizing how the subject is taught, especially to students with limited English abilities. *A Virginia Tech music instructor who is leading a group of high school-aged boys through the creation of an original opera staged totally in the online game Minecraft. Experts argue that games do truly "believe in you." They focus, inspire and reassure people in ways that many teachers can't. Games give people a chance to learn at their own pace, take risks, cultivate deeper understanding, fail and want to try again--right away--and ultimately, succeed in ways that too often elude them in school. This book is sure to excite and inspire educators and parents, as well as provoke some passionate debate"--
