We are doomed! - Cooperative board game

Hailing from Alabama, Carol McLaughlin has been gamifying for a few years now. But instead of running a gamified classroom, she decided to co-found a gamified school! Multi-age classrooms, a storyline that grows and develops for her students over the years they attend. She shares how this came to be and how she decided it was time for her to move on from a public school system to founding her own school. Follow her on Twitter @missmac100.

Things we talked about:

This week, we Fabian secured a surprise guest for the show: John Meehan was one of our first guests when we started this podcast and has been on many times. He is not only author and co-author of two game-changing books about student engagement, but also co-founder of the website and “Netflix for engagement strategies” emc2learning. Scott likes to interrupt people a lot, as we are sure you noticed, but with John, he was struggling. As always when John Meehan is on, the episode is chock full of ideas, encouragement, and plain fun! Check him out on @meehanedu, www.edrenalinerush.com, and of course www.emc2learning.com.

John’s books:

Jason is a powerhouse! Pun intended. He tells us all about how he engages students and how he is implementing a glitch this year which will send students down an alternate reality in his classroom game. Come for the jokes and stay for the Canadian kindness. Jason Howse is truly a rebel who rethinks student engagement. He also shares a game in our ever popular segment “Whatcha been playin’...?” We need a jingle for that…

Holy moly! What an episode! When Jamie texted Scott to not embarrass her in front of our guest, we did not know that Jon Corippo would just take the ball and run for it! What an episode! Full of funny stories, great insight into teaching, why EDUProtocols work, and why flashy things are sometimes awesome for students. Follow @jcorippo on Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram!
