Gilmore Fine Arts Library Media Specialist Valisa Harmon has been awarded a fellowship from Field Day Lab at UW-Madison. This award recognizes Ms. Harmon’s excellence in teaching and her commitment to innovation in the classroom.
As part of the fellowship, Ms. Harmon will work as part of a team to design a new educational video game that will be used by elementary school teachers and students across the country. The game will explore the rich world of shipwrecks and underwater archeology in the Great Lakes. Ms. Harmon will leverage her expertise by helping to develop an initial design blueprint and providing her insights as an expert educator. Then she will test the game with her students, providing vital feedback that will influence the game’s design.
Congratulations, Valisa!
