LFEd Ep. 002: Identity in Gaming
Luke and Alex discuss identity learning through video games.
There are countless ways in which our identity shapes the way we view the world and how the world views us, but Alex and Luke only have so much time and focus! In this companion podcast to the Low Five Education Project, the focus is going into more depth on each of Luke’s two articles on identity learning in video games. Connections to video games are made for games that affect our personal learning identities, learning outside of our own identities, and the development of both civic and environmental identities.
Games highlighted within the podcast include: Assassins Creed (series), Souls Likes, Celest, Animal Crossing, Airborn Kingdom, Red Dead Redemption 2 , and more.

Stray
1 RecommendationsAlex and guest hosts Isiah and Nick talk Stray.
Stray is an adventure platformer puzzler developed by Blue Twelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive. The story follows a stray cat who falls into a walled city populated by robots, machines, and mutant bacteria, and sets out to return to the surface with the help of a drone companion called B-12.
Stray was announced in 2020 and became highly anticipated. Following some delays, it was released on 19 July 2022, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Windows. It received generally positive reviews, with particular praise directed at its artistic design, cat gameplay, narrative, original score, and platforming elements; critics were divided on the combat and stealth sequences.
Isiah and Nick played Stray on their Windows PCs. Alex also played a little of the game on PC, but primarily played on the Steam Deck.
