This is a summary of a project at the University of Toronto using Twine to create an educational game, plus an overview of Twine.

This post includes lesson plans for teaching students how to use Twine, either in a single 50-minute session or in two days with extra time for practicing in the tool. These plans are a few years old, so a few details have changed, but the overall structure makes sense.
