The latest episode of Teaching in Higher Ed has an interesting interview with Keegan Long-Wheeler on using games for teaching but also for professional development.  Maybe we should play Goblin.  It could be fun.

Our THATCamp is open to all disciplines and I’m excited to have discussions across disciplines.  Since I’m a historian, I think a lot about the impact of technology on history.  Check out

This is a review of Brian Mayer’s game.  Mayer will be giving a talk on using games in curriculum before our Unconference sessions.  Vasel, the reviewer, says it is a good game and could be an “amazing tool in the classroom.”

Our camp http://bonas16.thatcamp.org/2016/08/22/our-camp/ http://bonas16.thatcamp.org/2016/08/22/our-camp/#comments Mon, 22 Aug 2016 16:20:53 +0000 http://bonas16.thatcamp.org/?p=138

On October 25, we’re hosting our first THATCamp hoping that it is the first of several.  St. Bonaventure University is located in Allegany, New York.    Our plan is to open the camp with a talk by Brian Mayer about the use of games in teaching.  He is the author of  Libraries Got Game: Aligned Learning through Modern Board Games and the designer of Freedom:  The Underground Railroad, a cool cooperative game that looks at the underground railroad before the Civil War.  Participants can win both as door prizes.  After that, we’ll break into the unconference so register and start proposing sessions.  More details to come…
