Abstract

We report findings from a case study of four pre-service teachers who attended a game-design workshop on using game-design activities for teaching purposes. Analysis of participants’ post-workshop reflections (n = 6) and lesson plans indicated their growing realization of the intricacies of using game-design in actual classroom context. The analysis also showed how their experiences with game-design varied, influenced by limitations imposed by their teaching context and personal technology competencies.
