Summer is the perfect time for playing games (albeit not outside in Arizona!) We had a great time yesterday with our "Game On!" webinar. David Roman, Technology Integration Specialist from Pinal County School Office, Professional Development Office was with us to talk about the K12 perspective on gaming in the classroom, and how it is impacting higher education.
We talked about why gaming is SO engaging to our ASU students and why K12 teachers are using them. Two case studies were discussed, and we shared some quick ideas to get started. Additionally, there were a lot of links shared in the discussions, so be sure to click below to see all the resources.
