  2. Features • Razor: Get at-risk learners engaged in the flow, help create new game content. • Slogan: “It’s your time to rescue someone.” • Tablet or phone touchscreen app • Single-player, 1st Person, 3-D, 5 Eco-systems, Problem-Based Adventure/Strategy Rescue Game • Trigger Emotions for Reflective Thinking • Practice Life Decisions • Build Intrinsic Motivation Fisher Game Pitch, EDTC-689-700

  4. Learner Objectives After a week of evaluative play: The learner will be able to list 4 ways his personal motivation has changed, either solo or among his peers, and to verbally discuss whether that motivation is internal (intrinsic) or external. The learner will also be able to verbally discuss skills and tactics of informal leadership working towards common goals. How does that look and feel in their (probably chaotic) personal lives? The learner will be able to verbally evaluate and reflect on unexpected and difficult situations, knowing there are ways to find solutions that are creative and practical. Live is messy. We have to deal with it. Fisher Game Pitch, EDTC-689-700
