"I found that playing Clash of Clans a very interesting and innovative way of explaining the 7 pillars of information literacy. It gave real tangible example that I could see and apply in a practical application. Plus, it was a lot of fun." (Quote from Feedback Form)
Reflection / Feedback
"I learned a lot more than I expected. From the seven pillars of information literacy, to how to play (and learn from) Clash of Clans, to putting together an appropriate infographic to building an entire website. Building the website was by far the most enjoyable project that I have had to do. It allowed for a lot of creativity to be put into something that I literally was able to put together from the ground up. Of course, there was a lot of pains that came from that but it was certainly a great learning experience. I also learned, what I’m sure is to become a trend, the importance and practicality of the use of games to teach concepts and have fun while doing it. The Clash of Clans portion of the class related the seven pillars of information literacy in an easy to comprehend, fun method of learning. It goes to show that gaming is not just for creating mindless, non-exercising people but can be used as an effective tool in learning." (G.B.)
