Digital games have the potential to transform K-12 education as we know it. But what has been the real experience among teachers who use games in the classroom? And what kind of resources can help prepare teachers who want to implement more games into their curriculum, but need more help making sense of the existing research that's out there as well as some suggestions for practical use?
In our community's next webinar webinar, Michael Levine, Executive Director of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, will share the findings from Level Up Learning: A National Survey of Teaching with Digital Games. The survey was conducted among nearly 700 K-8 teachers, and looks at how often and why they use games in the classroom, as well as issues they encounter in their efforts to implement digital games into their practice.
Michael will be joined by Jordan Shapiro, a frequent contributor to Forbes.com, who will discuss the MindShift Guide to Games and Learning, which offers teachers rich insight and best practices for using digital games in the classroom. The Guide is available free of charge on the MindShift site.
Join Michael and Jordan on October 20th to learn about the latest research on teaching with digital games, and how to use it to level up learning in your classroom. Attendees are encouraged to review the two featured resources before the presentation and bring questions and comments for Michael and Jordan for this interactive session.
