Session description

Learn various ways to incorporate low-prep, low-to-no-cost, high-yield games intor your classrooms with both in-person and virtual game tools, programs, and strategies.

Outline

I will be presenting some in-person games as well as some ideas on how to take classic favorites and connect them to curriculum. I will focus on the in-person gaming and experiences, explaining how I have used them in the classroom myself and how colleagues have used them. Then I will spend the rest of the time introducing various gaming websites & tools.

When introducing the tools, I will give examples of how they are used and how I have modified the games to differentiate the activities for the various levels and interests of my studens.

This will be mostly peer-to-peer interaction with discussions and device-based activities where participants can visit the websites and explore the resources. If time allows, I will play a game with the audience members that volunteer, so we can experience the game together.
