Exploring New Worlds: Digital Media, Gaming, and Learning

March 18th, 2013 - Posted in 2013, Dimensions by Alejandro Asin

IN THIS ISSUE
March/April 2013

Digital media is increasingly present in our daily lives, as well as on the floor of the science center. In this issue, we look at how informal educators and designers are using digital media and gaming to create compelling, interactive learning experiences. Whether by tackling science-based challenges on a mobile device, designing their own digital dome productions, or gaming in the real world or a virtual one, audiences are using the flexibility of new technologies and the power of play to engage deeply with science.
