Join education gurus in a panel discussion about how tabletop gaming is reforming education in today's classrooms. Panel will be a short narrative & an audience driven Q&A session.
Long Description:
Children naturally learn through play from birth; however, lecture and repetition become the tools instructors rely upon to impart knowledge. Some educators seek to return to the learning through play model by using games in their classrooms. Join Paizo developer Linda Zayas-Palmer and educators Kelly Brummond, Seth Brummond, and Bill Tobin in a discussion about how tabletop gaming is reforming education in today's classrooms. Tabletop games involve creative and expressive elements, as well as logic and strategy. When teachers use games in the classroom, kids are more likely to retain new concepts, complete tasks on time, and enjoy learning new information. Learn to use hands-on methods involving classroom games and “gaming homework” to empower youth learning about subjects such as grammar, history, literature, math, and science. Come take part in the learning through play revolution!
