Hand-Made Learning: Games, not Gamification

I have been inspired by Caine’s arcade for a while now, but I am not the only one. Michael Smith has also been inspired by the hand-made arcade, and has transformed it into a teaching and learning experience for his students. I encourage you to think about how you create hand-made learning experience for your learners, and how you can use games and play to create authentic experiences.

Who is in your Anti-PLN? Or, Avoiding TeamThink.

 

After thinking about the ways in which we can develop incredibly insulated learning networks, I wanted to create a way to find alternative voices. Eventually, I stumbled across the idea of creating a profile for the types of people that aren’t represented in my networks and then going after them.
