is dedicated to all things Evie and all things Game. Evie Powell is
a Ph.D student at UNC-Charlotte that works in the Games + Learning Lab.
All of her research deals with using games as a means of teaching computing
sciences and mathematics to high school and college level students.
When Evie's not making games for her school, she's making games for
fun. When Evie's not making games for fun, Evie's playing games. You
can keep track of the games Evie is playing here too. To learn a little
bit more about Evie, you can visit the About Evie section.
Evie is currently being funded through NSF, GAANN, and STARS Alliance. This is how Evie has time to make fan sites about herself.
What did I do?
Writing out my ethnographical study for Snagem. Started reading up on design research and what parts of my research require that I do design research instead of using quantitative research methods. Turns out the answer is most.
What did I plan to do?
A revision of my dissertation. I have the latex format that I will be using for my dissertation. I have an introduction and related works section in the new format. I also have a revised outline and brief introductions to chapters. I'd like to start working on the Snag'em chapter first, but thats only after I can figure out the best way to tie together all my research.
What problems occurred?
Ive never done an ethnographical study before. Everything I do or write has to be tested ad nauseum in order to verify that the questions I ask and the methods that I receive information are decent.
Plans for next week?
Finalize study design and send in IRB. Write more of my dissertation. Start asking Dr. Letulipe to read over some of my writings.
Hours worked
40?
Other Evie sites.
Evie centric sites (or at least, I like to think so).
Still not enough? If I know you and/or I think you are worthy, you can find me on Linked In and Facebook. Good luck with that one.
