I say it's when someone looks at the thing -- a cave painting, a movie, a can of soup -- and says "that's art." Games fit into this discussion so well, it's good to see teachers taking this approach.

]]> Comment on Gamestar Gets Political by Diane Garey http://teacherblog.gamestarmechanic.com/2012/10/18/gamestar-gets-political/#comment-1035 Diane Garey Tue, 30 Oct 2012 13:24:00 +0000 http://teacherblog.gamestarmechanic.com/?p=329#comment-1035 I love PBS too, but I really love this game. It's excellent to get kids talking about the process, and to focus on the act of voting, and the value of a single vote. Among other things, voting boosts one's self esteem -- I hate to hear people say "my vote won't count." Whenever I cast a ballot, I feel great. And while it's rare that an election hinges on a single vote, the vitality of our democracy relies on voters, every last one of us. Great work, Stella99. I love PBS too, but I really love this game.
