I'm doing two webinars in the next few weeks to walk users through making educational games without coding, on May 27th and June 9th. You can sign up here and be making a game in an hour - docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If you want to make an educational game, you should probably include assessment. Here is how to create a matching terms assessment in 4 minutes. youtu.be/QwJFfzbcY6I?...

How is writing software like baking a cake? How do you know a novel about a game studio is complete fiction? www.linkedin.com/posts/7-gene...

I'll be at the Minnesota Association for Bilingual Education meeting in Forest Lake tomorrow in Forest Lake, MN speaking on "Using games to teach math to English language learners" minnabe.org

Absolutely by far the number one request we get at 7 Generation Games is for games for lower levels of mathematics, "Couldn't you do something with addition or subtraction?" The Powwow Stands game needs to be a little smoother, but I'm working on it sandbox.7generationgames.com/powwow_stands/

Ways Growing Math can help with summer school if you were crazy enough to agree to teach this summer. (We no longer pay stipends for professional development, but everything on the site is still free to play online or download) www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ID...

Wrote this 2 months ago on the Emperor's New #AI and nothing has changed IMO - www.7generationgames.com/yet-another-...

I'd originally thought Blue Sky would be a more intelligent, less right wing extremist platform. After reading some posts by people I don't follow, I've concluded the platform isn't any smarter, I've just chosen to follow smarter people.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

Want to learn about games and learning but don't have time and/or money to travel? March 21st Critical Play: Play, Interaction, and Learning Conference is free and online. Plus, I'm speaking on Co-designing games to teach Indigenous and rural history - Sign up here forms.gle/2Wk85kAdM9YP...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I'll be at GDC in SFO from 3/8- 3/12 . If you want to meet up and talk #gamedev or educational games, let me know

Playing Aztech: The story begins , in Spanish to improve my own language skills and realizing we don’t give enough respect to students who need to do math problems in a second language, especially word problems.

People keep saying "But what can I do?" It occurred to me that I have a job that can be done from anywhere. So, I bought a plane ticket to #Minneapolis and will be out filming in front of schools next week. Also down to do game design in schools or math tutoring with any kids that need it.

Downloaded jquery 4.0 and trying it on a game I'm building. Let's see what breaks. Hopefully nothing. The deprecated functions aren't ones I remember using. Of course, it's been a lotta years ...

If you're looking for a team for Global Game Jam, we (two developers) signed up at the Sunday Studios site because it's 100% online. I believe the last day to sign up there is today but you can sign up with some other sites later - globalgamejam.org/jam-sites/20...

Scenes from Forgotten Trail - game teaching sixth-grade math along the Ojibwe migration www.7generationgames.com/forgotten-tr... #iteachMath

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

We know a lot of people do not like using amazon, so if you want to do something, please check out @ziibiing.com's amazing website: www.standwithminnesota.com

If you don't want people to say mean things to you, then maybe don't murder mothers? Don't kidnap neighbors and refuse to identify yourself? Maybe don't throw flashbangs at kids?

If you're not familiar with our Growing Math site, you are missing out. The latest lesson posted there came from Christy Hanson. www.growingmath.org/corn-ela-and... Corn, ELA and Math: The cross-curricular lesson combines science, English language arts and mathematics. #iTeachMath

My day job, making educational games. This is just a demo made with our new platform to make games. It will make it super easy for anyone to make a game without coding. We are using it in house now and it will be available in April to the public. sandbox.7generationgames.com/axolotl_adve...

FYI - I'm on the board of a non-profit in Minneapolis, the Strong Mind Strong Body Foundation. We felt we had to do something - read about it here - strongmindstrongbody.org/support-minn...

In the wake of ICE incidents, some Minneapolis students are learning at home. We have educational games, videos and lessons, some in Spanish. Please take whatever you can use. www.growingmath.org #iteachmath

We made Making Camp Premium years ago and it's still played by kids in school every day. If you have students who are learning multiplication, division or about Indigenous people in their social studies, check it out - www.7generationgames.com/making-camp-...

With many students in Minneapolis learning remotely this week, including our own, I wanted to let you all know that the Growing Math site has lessons and games optimized for remote learning for students in grades 3-8, funded with support from USDA & Library of Congress www.growingmath.org

I have a personal blog I don’t write on very often, but today I had some time on the metro, train and a bus. Here’s why I advocate for looking stupid and avoiding the ‘gringo tax’. www.lifeondemars.com/2026/01/08/y...

Super excited to be teaching Intro to Statistics in the spring and I think that is how I should always feel about a job.

I'd estimate that Gemini and Copilot make me a 1.15x developer. Proof that I am not completely an AI hater, with a bit of code - www.7generationgames.com/how-ai-makes...

#iTeachMath folks - any better term than "Teachers need to recoup learning loss"? It's not as much loss due to the pandemic but just the need to bring students up to grade level who are behind for any reason. Remediation?

Working on a game about #northdakota towns and counties, including 1930s establishment of Denbigh Experimental Forest. Why does this make me hopeful? Because it shows that the things we worried about 100 years ago are forgotten but some good things, like the forest, endure.

Who agrees? ✋

We're all seeing that AI is like a junior developer that needs specific direction, gets answers wrong and always promises to get better but never does. Yet, we are supposed to pretend that we are all just “prompting it wrong” or “just not using the right AI.” www.7generationgames.com/yet-another-...

I've been teaching statistics for 41 years (yes, I started in my 20s) and I'm trying to think of a question that would help create lectures or assignments for my course that I don't already know the answer to. Only use of AI now is, optionally, students use notebookLM to study on the go #iTeachMath

Update 7 Gen Blocks released at 11:59 last night and <24 hours later here is the first educational game made with it - Axolotl Adventure - a bell ringer for environmental science - 7generationgames.com/axolotl-adve...

Was looking for educators to follow on blue sky. Found a long list from a starter pack but when I checked their profiles, most of these people on #edusky had not posted in over a year. I teach statistics and make educational games. If you're in #mathed or #socialstudies , hit me up

Merry Christmas. Finally a chance to sit down after days of cooking, cleaning, wrapping, eating and opening presents. Hope you all are having a wonderful Christmas or (a little late) Hanukkah

Here's a conundrum, for years, we've had a start-up / 7 Generation Games newsletter. People come up to me at conferences and tell me they read it. No one knows how they got on it. There wasn't even anywhere to sign up - so I made a sign up form on our website www.7generationgames.com/how-in-the-w...

I'm teaching Intro to #Statistics to education majors in the spring. Please let me know any great ideas you have for assignments / examples. Not my first time teaching it by a long shot, but my first time in 12 years (been teaching biostats , epi & advanced stats)

After teaching #biostatistics for 13 years, I'm teaching intro to #statistics this spring for the first time in about 15 years. New book, updating assignments. I'm only doing it for one course and it's a ton of work. Teachers obviously don't get paid enough.

You know those articles about how #AI made senior developers SLOWER. Add me as another data point. Spent hours yesterday trying to debug why this function was not working on touch devices. All copilot's suggestions failed. The first thing I tried today worked. Fixed it in 5 minutes.😵‍💫

My latest update: TL; DR; Everything is fine and you can make $$ by referrals t us for customized educational games. Also, we're offering free PD on making educational games, starting in April, 2026 www.linkedin.com/pulse/everyt...

Currently on hold with @microsoft.com business tech support for an hour and 40 minutes trying to get help with our Microsoft partner account. Just sitting here fixing bugs while I wait. What is the maximum time you've ever been put on hold?
