Examples would include, for younger learners, digital versions of the 'Choose your own adventure' type, and on a more adult level, something like 253, Geoff Ryman's hyperfiction novel set on a London Underground train - http://www.ryman-novel.com/]]> 2023-04-17 11:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556791920 https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556848999 I can recommend this app - texts of all the plays, fully searchable, with full range of supplementary resources]]> 2023-04-17 12:08:17 UTC https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556848999 https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556852280 Just a question, did you create the Blackboard (VLE) course yourself? ]]> 2023-04-17 12:10:35 UTC https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556852280 https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2556857205

"Gatsby’s destiny is manifest, but he is also subject to the amnesias and ignorances that destroy the American experiment. Murder happens casually and is forgotten, the story of America told through tokens of forgotten violence. Gatsby does not understand that the American romance with the west is over. The nation’s hope has been exhausted, its promise glimpsed and left for ever unrealised. There will be no triumph of hope any more than there will be a triumph of the will. The great Emersonian dream of self-reliance does not survive its encounter with the forces of society and destiny in the shape of the carelessness of the rich. The disillusionment of this novel lies not in its disappointment in romantic love, but in the outcome of our romance with America."

Their project had a dual outcome, pushing the college science students to read deeply in order to design the games at the same time as encouraging the younger students to read themselves.]]> 2023-04-17 14:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2557034982 https://padlet.com/saumell_vicky/scwzmwylpjgfricy/wish/2557188074 I’m putting my info on https://Tinyurl.com/robb-PCE-chatgpt
