S E S S I O N D E S C R I P T I O N S The enhancement of our current curriculum to include indigenous experience and worldview is an important component of the overall Indigenization strategy at Georgian. In this session, participants will gain an understanding of why indigenous curriculum enhancements are important and how these enhancements can be made. In this session, participants will have the opportunity to work together to indigenize a sample course with the support and guidance of the facilitators. I N D I G E N I Z I N G Y O U R C L A S S R O O M Have you ever wanted to create a game for your classroom and didn't know where to start? Join us and you'll see how easy and quick it is to create an educational game in one hour. This session is split into two parts. In the first part you will engage with an interactive online game to learn about the different gaming frameworks and how they align with each other. It will take roughly 20 minutes to complete and it is highly recommended to complete this before joining us for Part 2 at the conference. Part 2 will be a 1 hour face to face session. We will work together in small groups and follow The Art of Serious Game Design methodology developed by a team from Ryerson University, George Brown College and Centennial College.
