I'm increasingly convinced that the sheer mass of casual, informal writing that undergrads have done on a daily basis until they get to college has undermined their ability both to think critically about what others have written and to write with rigor themselves. Basic logic seems more and more a missing skill, and falacious reasoning increasingly fills the void. Please, someone convince me we're not on our way to the future as portrayed in "Idiocracy." :-( #AcademicChatter @academicchatter
We hope to publish our first critical thinking video game for students in October. As with our other games it will be free, contain no ads, and respect your privacy.

The winning critical thinking games and remaining finalists will be published over the next 6 months.
Congratulations to all of the finalists! And a big thank you to the outstanding judges whose expertise and wonderful feedback will help us prepare these games for publishing.
So here's the deal: We currently have 2,522 (and counting) followers on Twitter, and we want to exceed that on Mastodon before our Editor-in-Chief @alexip718 heads to Colorado for ScienceWriters23 conference in one month. Can you help us get there?
❤️ We're seeing a spike in play of our consent games.
👍 We hope they're being played at college orientation for new students. We believe many students would benefit by playing our free games about consent!
For those in research or innovation spaces, (including open source),
What is your method for assigning tasks, of different priority and involvement levels.
How do you differentiate between presenting volunteer/open that have one set of quality standards, vs other quality standards for different tasks-roles-responsibilities?
⭐ Wanted: Educators to create classroom resources to use with our upcoming critical thinking video games. We will publish 1 or 2 critical thinking games in the fall semester. Target ages are middle & high school.
We cannot pay much but will pay for your time & expertise.
