I wanted to write some reflections about what worked and what could have been improved with the Social Media Game.    As I mentioned to the group,  it is always a work in progress and this Aloha Remix included some new ideas - the point system, the situation cards, and scenarios that were not all non-profit. .

We created a worksheet with more detailed questions adapted and remixed from CCTV's wiki. What I like best about this section is that the focus isn't on numbers only - these are reflective questions related to learning. The action - feed -reflection process is very important.
