GameRT program reporters needed for ALA Annual

  • 1.  GameRT program reporters needed for ALA Annual

    Posted Jun 19, 2014 07:59 AM

    GameRT needs program reporters for our events at Annual this year.


    A conference program reporter would attend each event and write a short report. The report will help inform those unable to attend and provide a record of GameRT events. If time allows, it would be beneficial for the reporter to take photos and obtain quotes from attendees.


    If you are interested in volunteering: Please contact me, Diane Robson, at diane.robson at unt.edu.


    Annual programs that need reporters:


    -Using meaningful gamification to motivate library users: a hands-on workshop


    -ALAplay 2014 (mostly photos and quotes for this event)


    -Come make a game: library game jams


    Thanks,
    Diane Robson
