A1. I stop at red lights in Grand Theft Auto. 😜

In all seriousness, there are so many opportunities to simulate aspects of being a good citizen. I also think teaching good digital citizenship in multiplayer games could really help reduce online vitriol. #LevelUpEDU

A1: I think games that allow decision making/choice based gaming can allow students to choose what their character does and then can see how the choices they make affect the outcome. (I hope that makes some sense!) #LevelUpEDU

It absolutely makes sense!

Yes! Games are a great way to discuss and analyze the impact of decisions that are made. #LevelUpEDU

That makes total sense! Would you create intentional discussion/reflection questions for students to think about the choices they made and/or the alternatives? #LevelUpEDU

Yes! I think that's a great idea to further students understanding! #LevelUpEDU
