Student game now used to help teach social skills

The game Way, made in the fall  2010 semester by Chris Bell, Cynthia (Zhixin) Jiang. Hugo Shih, Katherine Rubenstein, Walt Destler and Paulwei Wang is now being used to teach social skills. “Way is an interesting experimental game that makes collaboration and communication crucial to success. In the game, pairs of students guide watch other through a level using gesture and other nonverbal skills. The game helps students to be better collaborators while simultaneously getting them to think critical about all the myriad ways we communicate.” To read more about what Big Deal Media is saying about the game read their e-newsletter.

To download the free game, visit CoCo & Co’s website.
