Hello friends of Filament and a Happy Monday to you all! If you’re like me, Mondays are an exciting time, because every Monday we drop a fresh episode of The Game-based Learning Review. For the uninitiated, the GBL Review is a live series where we play educational games, interview developers and education luminaries, and generally give you the inside scoop on the world of educational game development! Joining us for today’s episode is none other than Carrie Ray-Hill, Senior Director of Digital Learning at iCivics.org. This episode covers Carrie’s path into the world of civics education, the story behind how and why we developed Investigation Declaration with Colonial Williamsburg, and the critical collaborative efforts undertaken with researchers and historians at Colonial Williamsburg, whose support and expertise were indispensable as we brought this game to life. Check out the stream and make sure to tune in every Monday at 12:30pm Central Standard Time on the Filament Games YouTube Channel for more educational game play!
