Thread Name: BS: Any school librarians on mudcat?
Subject: BS: Any school librarians on mudcat?
Is anyone out there a school librarian or do you have a connection with someone who is?
I have just signed a contract with Facet Publishing in the UK who are connected with the professional librarian chartered institute in the UK CILIP to write a book on game-based learning and gamification for school librarians and I am after some short case studies to include in the publication.
The games can be slides, complex computer games, physical games such as board games, mixed media games combining virtual and physical worlds or live games involving role play or escape rooms. Games can be commercial or home made. There will also be a chapter on gamification where reward or points are given for completing levels of work. The only criteria that is important is that the game MUST be used in the school library or where the librarian has collaborated and suggested it to a subject teacher - I am not interested in just classroom based games.
The book will have theory chapters on game based learning and the life skills this approach also engenders and there will be closing chapters on the impact and practicalities within a school library setting and also on reaching out beyond the library to subject areas
I have a template (just one side of A4) which I can send out if you contact me - PM me for email or look at my website www.sp4il.co.uk
The book will have an international focus so particularly welcome are case studies beyond the UK
I will need replies by the end of December 2020

Hoping some people out there maybe able to help

Cheers
