I'm pleased to announce 2 new making games for libraries workshops!
You can see the results (and some feedback from) other workshops on the blog - http://gamesforlibraries.blogspot.co.uk/
These 2 workshops are shortened (afternoon only rather than full day) in an attempt to reduce costs slightly so I can make them more affordable for New Professionals and students, so you'll see a reduce price for these groups :-)
Manchester will be on Thursday 15th May - https://games4librariesmanchester.eventbrite.co.uk
London will be on Friday 13th June - http://games4libslondon14.eventbrite.co.uk
If you book, you can expect an afternoon of making games for information literacy instruction! After running a full day version of this event in Leeds, 100% of attendees (who filled in the feedback form!) rated it good or excellent, more feedback from the Leeds event is available on the blog<http://gamesforlibraries.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/feedback-from-making-games-for.html>, as is feedback from a similar event I ran in York<http://gamesforlibraries.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/feedback.html>.
The bulk of the afternoon will consist of guided group work - creating and prototyping games for use within your libraries. There will be blank playing cards, blank board games, dice, counters, and all sorts of other goodies to use in your prototyping. I'll also bring along an assortment of items like iPod touches for trying things out on for those people who may want to think about games like QR code treasure hunts...
“I found the day exceptionally useful and well done. I was really impressed by how well Andrew Walsh incorporated theory and background into a primarily hands-on training. I got quite a few tips for teaching and engaging students through play that were totally new for me and I believe that certain aspects of what he taught will stick with me, particularly the caveats and pitfalls for developing games in university contexts.”
Quote from attendee at a previous workshop.
I'm looking forward to playing with you all ... in the nicest possible way ;-)
