‘Game it now’ remote seminar December 10th 2021
Can teaching be enriched and new ways of working be brought to school through gamification? How can you gamify in a pedagogically sustainable way? Or can you make games yourself and learn something in the process?
In the ‘Game it now’ remote seminar, games and gamification are looked at from the perspectives of research and practice. Throughout the day examples, ways of working and solutions for gamification and game design are given by students, teachers, gamification experts and Innokas Network trainers. The seminar is targeted at teachers in all grade-levels of basic education.
Time: Friday 10th of December at 10am-3pm
