21 June, 2010 / game design, marking

Makes the work feel like it is really flying by! Tuesday’s boxes are lined up, ready to go. Each time I finish marking a paper I record how many hours it took me to mark (my aim is for 1.5 each) and colour in the box. It is rather satisfying.

Working titles for the two classes… I’m thinking:
Week 5: “Social Media, Transmedia, & Keeping Up”
Week 6: “Social Networking & Fingerspitzengefühl”
Must remember to update my cute cat picture collection for this round of classes. (Submissions welcome. Crowd-sourced-cats?)

When you visit the National Library of New Zealand, you have to “check in” at a kiosk. It sends an automated message to the person you’ve come to see, to notify them to come get you.
You can enter information about whether you’ll require assistance getting out of the building in an emergency. Also, if you’re a repeat visitor, the system will remember who you are!

I can’t wait to get to webstock tomorrow, just so I can use these awesome Field Notes journals that @spanishmanners gave me! I’ve been saving them. <3
The other exciting thing about Webstock is that Collective Noun will be running a game during both days of the conference, designed to encourage people to interact, explore, and reflect.
In fact, this post just happens to fulfill the requirements of one of the game quests, #48 Field Notes: “How are you recording your thoughts during the conference? Post a photo of your notetaking equipment”.

While visiting Josh & Ponoko I discovered this really cool experience design company have their offices in the same building. They created the amazing Golden Days “object theatre” at Te Papa!
