Teaching Through Games
I recently attended a workshop led by Chris Harris, mastermind behind the PlayPlaylearn.com website and Director of Library Systems at Genesee County. You may not have time to play the game in your classroom, but you can teach with a game. Engagement is very powerful in games. We are all gamers. Think about how many of you enjoy Words With Friends, play other games to pass the time, engage with people. Look at the GV Library Game Collection and see how many different skills can be taught with games. Pictured on the side is the game Compounded, a game where students research and create new elements.
