How do we use SPORE in education/training/learning?
SPORE, expansions, and the future!
From kotaku.com:
"Gamers will experience deeper Space stage gameplay with an expansion pack scheduled for release in spring 2009. For the first time, players’ space faring creatures will be able to beam down from their spaceships to explore new planets and earn rewards for completing challenging missions. A new Adventure Creator will allow players to build and share online their own custom missions, providing almost endless gameplay possibilities."
So, Sporeducators, this seems to be the direction the game is going. Spore is about creating, playing, and sharing stories. The story process seems to have educational merit, but only if teachers embrace and guide the process. Any clue what might be done with this upcoming expansion? It seems to put more power into the hands of the educator...
