SUMMARY:Let's Play!
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop series\, we’ll get our hands on some nifty 
 tools and practices to make your classrooms more engaging\, playful 
 spaces.\n\nLet’s Play I - Lightboard (Oct. 5) - In Person\, Room 
 127!\nThe Lightboard is a unique service for recording lectures and 
 presentations. Combining the benefits of a live lecture\, with the 
 annotations you may make on a whiteboard into a single media asset. 
 Maintain student engagement in your videos by drawing\, diagramming or 
 doodling your lessons\, while simultaneously maintaining eye contact\, and 
 speaking directly to your audience. Participants will have a hands-on 
 opportunity to plan\, play and produce their next lesson in this exciting 
 new media format.\n\nLet’s Play II - H5P (Oct. 19) - Online!\nHave you 
 been hearing the buzz about H5P? These lightweight\, easy-to-build 
 interactive tools are designed for formative learning\, giving students a 
 chance to practice critical skills before assessments — and the feedback 
 is built right in! They’re fun\, engaging\, and they work in Moodle\, 
 WordPress\, and Pressbooks. Join us for some straightforward instructions 
 and then supported building time. You will leave the workshop with at least 
 two ready-to-use interactives to share with your students.\n\nLet’s Play 
 III - Twine (Nov. 2) - Online!\nWhat is Twine? Twine is an online tool that 
 allows you to make text-based games\, these games end up being a lot like 
 the Choose your own adventure books of yore. Why would you be interested in 
 Twine? Twine is free and extremely accessible. If you know a bit of html 
 and/or css you can amp up the experience but if you do not know any coding 
 you'll be just fine! It takes about 15 - 30 minutes to get a good grasp of 
 Twine’s basic functionality. Another reason you may want to use Twine is 
 you want to flex your storytelling muscles or you want your students to 
 flex their storytelling muscles! Storytelling can capture everyday examples 
 of practice and turn them into an opportunity to learn. \n\nLet’s Play IV 
 - Memes and GIFs (Nov. 16) - In Person\, Makerspace!\nIn this session we 
 will focus on the practical elements of making memes and animated GIFs. 
 We’ll walk through a few tools and techniques that will have you sharing 
 your inspirations with your friends\, your students and your social media 
 networks. While we build\, we will also talk a little bit about the social 
 dimension of this form of media. We’ll discuss how memes are playing an 
 arguably out-sized influence on our contemporary discourse\, and also 
 consider a few ways memes can go wrong.\n
