Hello, I'm Cherise, and I teach Video Game Design and Computer Science to grade 6 students. I am also interested in how teachers can use and create games for teaching and learning to increase student engagement and assessment scores.

Hi Cherise - nice to meet you! Your work sounds really interesting!

I am not sure if you are looking for articles, but I have always drawn a lot of inspiration from Kafai's work (not teachers making games, but students making games for other students):

One of my students worked with elementary school students to translate digital games into board games:

and some of my other students ran Game Camps for high school students

Maybe those help somehow?

If not, I'd love to hear more about what you do so I can hopefully help you more!
