There are no guarantees ... but we strongly believe that intentionally designed bespoke digital interventions can change unhealthy attitudes or beliefs. We've had two published studies showing our prosocial games can do just that.

And this is a technology and approach preferred by adolescents. They are more receptive to the lessons learned when their preferences are taken into consideration.

1️⃣ Use of a preferred platform & preferred technology makes it more likely students are more receptive to lessons learned.

2️⃣ Interactive nature supports experiential, contextual, and discovery learning.

3️⃣ Especially effective if you are going beyond knowledge transfer and seeking to persuade.

What is Critical Thinking?

📚 "Critical thinking is a kind of thinking in which you question, analyse, interpret, evaluate and make a judgement about what you read, hear, say, or write.

"To become a better critical thinker, you therefore need to learn how to:

[1] Clarify your thinking purpose and context;
[2] Question your sources of information;
[3] Identify arguments;
[4] Analyse sources and arguments;
[5] Evaluate the arguments of others; and
[6] Create or Synthesise your own arguments."

They have until June 30th to finish & submit them.

We are not sharing the details about the Finalists but they are welcome to share the good news if they choose.

We've seen several of them post about being selected as Finalists on Twit'r but haven't seen anything on here.

Thank you for your interest!
