  • 20. Nov | Summit Day

    The Summit Day will feature talks, project presentations, panel discussions, and workshops.

  • 14:00  - 15:00
    Since 2017, we have been offering the seminar "Digital Games in the Educational Context" for all teacher training courses at the Pädagogische Hochschule Ludwigsburg. After a theoretical introduction, students familiarize themselves with digital games that are suitable for use in the educational context. In a longer group work phase, they then develop a lesson concept to a computer game. The concepts must have a clear reference to the education plan, the target group must be clearly defined (school type, grade level, subject) and the desired learning objectives must be specified. So far only a few students had extensive previous knowledge. But at the end of the course, most were convinced of the educational potential of digital games. But it remains unclear whether this medium can actually be used in schools. As part of the conference, we will discuss our experiences and present selected lesson concepts.
