We developed an middle childhood activity (not identified as a game) like this. The goal was to find and then formulate ideas about Ohio made products in the Ohio Memory Project collections online at the Ohio Historical Society. Being able to tag items with questions (and positive feedback) would certainly enhance the learning involved. It was a way to address economic history questions in the social studies classroom. We proposed an archaeology/history research flash game for a CPB grant proposal and presented it in DC (it wasn’t funded but I thought the game ideas and models were excellent).

I would definitely like to participate in Trevor’s Playing History session, as well as the Omeka hack session. I can’t wait to learn about the other Omeka plugins other folks at CHNM have proposed for educational gaming.

This is really interesting, especially since a few other folks at CHNM have proposed Omeka plugins for games K-12 teachers/students could use.

Hey Will, it sounds like you’d be interested in participating in Trevor’s “Playing History: Video Games and the humanities” session (thatcamp.org/2008/05/playing-history-video-games-and-the-humanities/#comment-83) as well as the Omeka hack session idea I proposed (thatcamp.org/2008/05/omeka-hack-session/).
