Webwise '14 Was Outstanding #webwise14 allaccessri.org/2014/02/17/w…
Games help us connect with each other and with human history. #WebWise14
Not just designing games, but there is research in progress on design, player psychology, motivations. #WebWise14
Advantage to the metadata games is to deal w/scale. How do you describe terabytes of uncataloged data? Invite people in to help. #WebWise14
Metadata games pilot yielded greater # of tags and average tagging per person than LC's Flickr Commons tagging. #WebWise14

I tried to convince coworkers to try metadatagames. Too much fear about how you get the metadata out and what to do with it. #webwise14
Replying to @criticalplay
@criticalplay who has the authority? good question..yes folksonomy,BUT who r the "folk" sometimes that erases other voices #WebWise14
How can we create a game that affects diversity and inclusion? #WebWise14 @IMLSWebWise
Love the work that @criticalplay does w/TiltFactor. Designing games for "fundamental human values." #WebWise14

Different kind of #maker space @buffalolibrary where people can construct local history! #WebWise14
History is messy & contested. Learning to get students involved in the mess using badges! #WebWise14
