Pre-Conference Workshops @ 10:00

[M1] 10 Oct (AM) - Enhancing your curriculum: games for learning and content creation

Games have been used widely over the years to provide opportunities for experiential learning in and out of the classroom. We have traveled across the United States in a covered wagon in "The Oregon Trail" to learn about westward expansion, learned about diplomacy through John Hunter's World Peace Game, participated in stock market simulations, and much more. In recent years, there has been a shift toward content creation in all areas of the curriculum using Game Technology with games like Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite Creative. In this workshop, participants will explore and research a variety of games and discuss ways they can be incorporated into their specific content areas. Participants will leave with concrete ideas for how they can incorporate games into their courses.

In this workshop, participants will:

• Explore and research a variety of games
• Discuss ways they can be incorporated into their specific content areas
• Leave with concrete ideas for how they can incorporate games into their courses

Intended audience: All school teachers, curriculum leaders, teachers and professional development leaders
