My elder-millenial brain can only store so much information, so we're short again this week! This week I share my newfound love of School AI and how it is a great resource to use both with students, and as a jumping point for your own planning! Additionally, I reviewed the newly released Teachables by Cheryl Abla and Lisa Maxfield.

Here are all of the resources discussed in this week's episode:

Come check out what I did to inspire some play in my students, and see what ideas you can come up with!

We had a wild week of games since our last episode. In my AP Comparative Government we played both Secret Hitler and We're Doomed. Some groups which have both some cooperative and competitive elements which include a lot of role playing and table talk, and also allows for some discussions of a variety of different political ideologies and tactics. I think you could construct a variety of academic applications for We're Doomed, although some of the event cards may need to be vetted for appropriateness.

So I've decided to start a podcast, and the thing that excites me the most is talking about how to increase the usage of play in the classroom. In episode zero, you get a small taste of who I am, what I like about play, and what I plan to do in the podcast!
