Participate and share: Interactive session 
Streaming Session
Recorded Session
This session is focused on moving past the notion that these are just games. We will discuss how Minecraft: Education Edition, Fortnite Creative and others are opportunities for students to demonstrate their learning still within controlled and standards focused ways. Students need structure but structure that allows freedom of choice.
Participants will walk away with resources and ideas on how to bring game-based learning to their classroom.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn from one another through discussion and collaborative work.
Participants will be able to discuss how they have tried and the challenges they have faced with brining games into their classrooms with time for others to support them.
Everyone will have a collaborative Wakelet with resource links that they can also add to and continue to ideas and sources to as well.
