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.

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

I love it as a platform and wish institutions would adopt it over things like Teams.

Yes. Actively. Use it for both professional and game/personal uses.

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

OBS has to be one of the best free software tools ever. Even if you don't stream and only record and upload, it is incredibly powerful for making polished-looking videos. #LevelUpEDU Thanks for sharing this resource!

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

No. I have to seize any opportunity to harass @steveisaacs.bsky.social about video games that come available. He's merciless in #Starcraft. #LevelUpEDU #EduSky

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

Hey! Catching up on other posts from last night. We used #FortniteCreative and #FallGuys with students in a summer camp recently. It was a great success. #LevelUpEDU

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

I’ve done workshops on tabletop gaming with teachers before, which for some, is less intimidating than video games. I think it’s important to have the “why games” discussion as a part of it.

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

Ahh, then it’s not just me!! I kept refreshing and thinking something was up.

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

I’ve seen similar things!! We need to work to make our curricula and instruction as engaging. Tough task! #LevelUpEDU
