Seminar Description
Want to play games during PD Week? This is your seminar! During the session, we will play "What's Your Game Plan," a card game developed by a fellow community college professor, to show you game design can be used to encourage thinking about your material, whatever the discipline. A dexterity game, "Five Fingers," will also be played as a very fun ice-breaker with a larger point: that even a game with the simplest rules requires clarification, thinking, and practice, necessary for any learning to take place. These are the types of activities that can help connect students with one another and their learning and promote improved student outcomes.
