Fantastic couple of days at MMU for the Playful Learning Association meetup! Conversations about killer robots, imposter queens, being weird and hairy deer legs were just what I needed. Such a joyful, creative and inclusive atmosphere! 🎲🧩 #playlearn Join in here playfullearningassoc.co.uk

Thanks to the @unilancashire.bsky.social School of Nursing and Midwifery and wider Burnley campus teams for making today's Burnley community and open day a massive success! Had to bring a few playful learning #playlearn activities along of course 😀

The #PlayLearn June round-up will come out at the end of next week - reply or contact me if you have any links or news you'd like us to share with the #PlayLearn network. We'll be announcing our new co-Chair and letting you know what we get up to in York later this week.
Hi @daisyabbott.bsky.social and #playlearn folks. I could benefit from your insight. I am working away at the very rough draft of my book project, Designing Historical Games for the Class and discussing a potential rubric. 1/
You know historical game studies and #PlayLearn and #AncientBluesky and 🗃️: if this is truly the weekend where you have the abundance of free time you always hoped for, you could always dive into thersites-journal.de/index.php/th...
... no takers? Well, an article writer has to try!
Adding 🧵I'm brainstorming a new classroom game on the rise of first cities (in Mesopotamia) for example, & find many aspects of game revolve around whether I choose elite lineage leaders or sole king/priest rulers as heads of proto-cities. /3

History educator friends. I'm closing in on a 1st draft of chapter on creating & having students create interactive text histories w/ Twine, Inkle + & my students are immersed in researching their projects in class. Great time to ask questions if you'd like to try it (& helps me too).

If you ever want to go in the deep end, friends, I have made some stairs (? maybe another metaphor would have worked better) for EUIV in history class: @ebrandom.bsky.social @tlecaque.bsky.social #playlearn folks
Uggh, I always mess up the caps in AncientBluesky, but at least this also lets me include #PlayLearn. Would love your thoughts on this
So we wrapped up our Game Design Class for our CCDX week at Cincinnati Country Day School. Really gratifyin! I got to work with two colleagues who had never taught game design yet brought such experience and skill with games and iterative design -- they were a joy to work with. 🧵 #Playlearn 1/
