Reacting to the Past: Gamify Your Classroom
Led by Carl Ohrenberg
Do you want to deepen the learning of your students? Do you want to engage them? Do you want to connect classroom learning to real world events? If so, come play a game with us. Reacting to the past is a proven pedagogy involving immersive role-playing games centered on real historical events such as the American Revolution and climate change negotiations in Copenhagen. In each game, students take on the role of a real person with clear objectives. To "win", the students must collaborate, communicate, strategize, and think critically. In this one-day workshop you will have the opportunity to play and experience a Reacting to the Past game with your faculty colleagues. We will also discuss how writing and oral assignments from the games can be incorporated into your course.
