Maria Cipollone (pronounced: chip-alone) is a born-and-raised Philadelphian who is also a PhD student in Media and Communication at Temple University. She studies how “new” media technologies (e.g. video games, virtual/augmented reality experiences, mobile technologies) shape our thinking, working, and especially learning. In her dissertation, she wants to answer the following questions: what happens to the motivation to play Minecraft when we take Minecraft to school? What psychological factors (for example ‘tele’presence) contribute to motivation to ‘mine’? And the big one: does Minecraft help students learn? Maria has a wealth of knowledge and you will not want to miss this conversation. Tune-in and level-up!
