Learn research-based methods for using the natural human desire to be involved in “play” to enliven and enrich your classroom outcomes. Games and play can be powerful educational tools. Learn to meet your curricular goals by empowering students to collaboratively design solutions in an environment that encourages intellectual risks and deep engagement. In this two-day workshop, facilitated by the Institute of Play, you will learn the fundamentals of game-based learning that engages students in core subject areas and master the art of centering teaching on the learner. Experience game-based learning practices as we create, modify, prototype, and play/test non-digital games of our own designs. Be ready to leave the workshop with workable play-based activities tailored to the needs of your students.
