Session description

Games have often only been fun breaks or review. It’s time to rethink how games can be leveraged not only as dessert, but as the main course of a learner-centered environment. Gaming can personalize learning, make competency-based assessment clearer, increase authenticity and create an inclusive learning environment.

Purpose & objective

The purpose of this session is to introduce the concept of gaming as a learning method in the learner-centered classroom to make learning more personalized, authentic, competency-based and equitable. Participants will know specific digital games that they can implement that build 21st century skills, help develop community and provide feedback to students. They will leave with a variety of ideas to implement in their classroom tomorrow.
