Spending the last part of my week at the NCET Conferences. This is an event for school tech directors and technicians. Not the digital learning content I’m more comfortable with, but learning more about cybersecurity, device management, etc.! #TechDirectorLife #NCEd

Fundraiser for Collide Church Summer Missions. Themed baskets for Bingo Night. I think our Community Group’s basket is going to be a hit! #tabletopgaming #games

Ha. One of my favorite Christmas memes.

A meme from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom using lyrics from Wham's Last Christmas.

Great time with our church community group last night. Wondering if anyone has a Delorean I can borrow. I think I need to go back and make sure my parents meet each other.

How cool is this? One of our students is not only creating YouTube content, but it’s educational as he shares his passion for geography! We should encourage this! Would you encourage him with a subscribe and some likes? youtube.com/@carterschan... #EduSky #EdTech #NCEd

My view from breakfast this morning. I agree. Frustrated that folks need reminding. PublicEducationMatters.org #NCEd #EduSky

On a slightly unrelated note, I've just discovered Balatro on Apple Arcade. I love deck-building games. I love rogue-lite games. Slay The Spire is another good one. Anyone else enjoy these? Recommendations? #LevelUpEDU

Am I missing a key skill, or is it a bug? I missed several posts tagged with #LevelUpEDU during last night's chat. Any tips? #EduSky

A4 - I think we need to talk about strategies to help willing teachers make their first steps to integrate games in schools. Game Clubs, Esports, and deeper curriculum integrations. #LevelEDU

Lucas Gillispie @lucasgillispie.com · 22/11/2024

A3 - I think fun and flow are most important. Good games are already worthy to be in the classroom. I think what we need is more educators to help connect gaming experiences to learning/curriculum. #LevelUpEDU

Last week my after school #GameClub HeroQuest student-players interrupted what I can only assume, by the two bookcases in the room, to be a weekly Dread Lord Book Club Meeting. The Dread Lords weren’t pleased. #tabletop #boardgames #LevelUpEDU #EduSky

Recently, I've been training staff on the Promethean ActivPanel. I love sharing web sites with manipulatives or great interfaces designed for touch. Do you have a favorite? Examples like - earth.google.com, www.topmarks.co.uk, wordwall.net. #EduSky #EdTech #Education
