Level 1000 courses are offered by university departments as a way of introducing themselves to freshmen who: have been vegetating in high school for four years; are eager to fill up their schedule with \cake" courses; may actually have some interest in the topic; don't have any real idea of what the department offers; are still looking for a major. 3 / 1 A σ Jump: Endless Constraints Our department doesn't offer such a course; many undergraduates don't take courses in our department until junior year! We are trying to develop a 1000 level course which is attractive to the \clueless" and \aimless"; offers some real insight into scientific computing; makes scientific computing attractive; introduces computing without requiring programming; isn't so babified it demeans the students; isn't so trivial the instructor is ashamed of it; could be taught by graduate students; won't be vetoed by the Mathematics or CS departments. 4 / 1 A σ Jump: Brilliant Ideas A few brainstorming ideas: Teach Matlab from Cleve Moler's \Experiments with Matlab" (JB) (vetoed); weekly discussion of computers in the news: privacy; breakins; BitCoin; MineCraft (NC); an overview of many computer languages, why they exist and what they do (GE); a demonstration of how computer programs solve problems, with GUI-based labs (JB) (no programming!); \Computers and Art", text analysis, color representation, surface modeling, motion capture (Mike Schneier).

  • Snake and Ladder Games in Cognition Development on Students with Learning Difficulties
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH ARTICLE Snake and Ladder Games in Cognition Development on Students with Learning Difficulties K. Srinivasan Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, CKS Teja Institute of Dental Science and Research, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India Email for correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT Introduction: School students play an important role in oral health care and promotion. Learning in these institutions becomes ineffective unless it leads to a profound change in student’s behavior and attitude toward the improvement of their own personal health. The usage of various suitable learning mediums in teaching and learning oral health enhances cognitive development of the students with learning difficulties. Aims and Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of snake and ladder game on the level of knowledge regarding oral health knowledge, attitude, and behavior among school students with learning difficulties. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 children, aged 7–9 years who were recruited in this study from the schools. A quasi-experimental pre- and post-test with control group design was adopted. Results: The total score was calculated based on the response to each statement. All variables of the questionnaires are analyzed by age. Differences were assessed by the “t” test. SPSS, version 21, were used to process and analyze the data. The significance level (P-value) is set at 0.001. Conclusion: The present study implies that the play way method of teaching children with snake and ladder board is an effective intervention to increase the knowledge of oral health among children.

Commonly referred to as a combination of volleyball and four-square. It is played 2 v 2, with a Spikeball net placed between the teams. A player starts by serving the ball down on the net so it bounces up at the opponents. They have up to three hits between them (like volleyball) to control the ball and bounce it back off the net. When they miss, you score. Once a point starts, players can move or hit the ball anywhere. Giant Snakes and Ladders. Like the classic board game, except your bodies are the tokens! Each player takes a turn rolling the dice. They then move forward the number of spaces shown on the dice. If you end up at the bottom of the ladder, you climb up and if you end up on a snake, you move down. The first player to the “HOME” space wins! Dual Walkers. This is your opportunity to team up to win. Using the dual walkers, each team must walk from point A to point B by using hand ropes to lift boards and move forward. Similar to a three- legged race, the first team to make it to the finish line wins! To make the game more fun, have the teams navigate through obstacles.

  • Five Millennia of Player Practices
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Bolton Institutional Repository (UBIR) Five Millennia of Player Practices Dr. Chris Bateman University of Bolton Deane Road Bolton BL3 5AB Abstract What can we learn about play by examining it from a historical perspective? Using Foucault’s archaeological methods to examine the history of player practices in terms of their artefacts, a series of cross-sections through five millennia of play are developed around the key props (in Walton’s representational sense of this term) that have been deployed in games. The specific patterns considered are the contract, the die, the board, the pawn, the set, and the coin. In each case except the first, a material object serves a prescribed role in play, requiring players to imagine specific things that make certain kinds of games possible. The changes in the representational aspects of these props demonstrate both the continuity of player practices over time, and the significant changes that have emerged over the last few centuries. Keywords Foucault, Walton, Caillois, player practices, lineages, boardgames, prop theory, magic circle A History of Props for Play For some time now, I have been inadvertently pursuing a philosophical history of player practices across the last five millennia, that is, from the foundation of the first cities (the advent of ‘civilisation’, understood specifically as civic living) to today. What follows is a history, since it deals with a span of time, but it is also genealogical in so much as it resembles Foucault’s (1972) archaeological methods of analysing discourse.

    81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book We thank you for your purchase of our Beer Bong. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to provide you this free E-Book loaded with 81 drinking game ideas. This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.
