Gaming Guild

This year some Orenda students will have the opportunity to participate in a Gaming Guild.  The creation of this guild is based on research presented at the Games in Education conference offered at Hudson Valley Community College in the summer of 2009.  The Gaming Guild is not a replacement for existing classes, it is an extra program that students may participate in during lunch recess.  Students who wish to participate must be up-to-date on all school work and have received permission from a parent or guardian.  Only very specific games (usually rated E) are allowed at the Gaming Guild.  These games were recommended at the conference at HVCC.  The games that are currently allowed are...
