Example 1: I teach a computer class and I'm looking for new ways to engage my students and teach them skills like programming, design and troubleshooting. I use or would like to use the project based learning model for my classroom.
Example 2: I teach a core subject and some students especially boys have trouble being excited about the content I'm teaching. I know that they love video games and if I could tap into that interest I think that they would learn a lot more.
Before you start a game design course or use game design as a unit within another course you may want to familiarize yourself with the issues surrounding video games.
Another variable to consider when thinking about how you will format the course is how digital native students like to learn and how you will interact with them. If you area digital immigrant consider what accent you may be displaying.
