The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

Instagram suspended my account for I don’t know what. I can appeal it but this just might be my sign to drop it and spend less time on social media. I already dropped one Facebook accounts, twitter and threads.

This "tweet" from a year ago has been deleted by its author. I'm posting here now on BlueSky as a reminder and as a public service, for anyone, should they ever need it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Have you thought of making an educational game starring yourself? That's what Julia created for one teacher. You might think she's a developer. Nope, a creative writing major that wanted to help out her history teacher sister. Check it out. www.7generationgames.com/boosting-stu...

We had a couple of private individuals offer to donate $50, up to $4,000 for every game created with 7 Gen Blocks. Of course, we said yes. We'll tell you more about it at our webinar on July 15. Of course, we are providing the blocks licenses and all the support forms.gle/k32TtGrZ6T5Z...

Happy Fourth of July. To celebrate, here is a game built with blocks - 7generationgames.com/can_you_vote/ An app to teach about the historical barriers to voting for African-Americans and encourage people to vote.

I think not raising another seed round helped us in many ways. One is that I scrutinize every expense and ask “Do we really need this?”

We're doing a competition for best game made with 7 Gen Blocks. First prize is $500. You can sign up for the webinar July 15 to learn how to use blocks and more about the competition. forms.gle/YZb2tXccEPAS...

Why would you want to use 7 Gen Blocks to make an educational game? Let me count the ways on our 7Gen Blocks Youtube channel. youtu.be/3DIYCcwEgbk?... If you are an AI hater, this video is not for you.

Just a heads up that we will be running a game development competition with 7 Gen Blocks starting next month, with cash prizes. Not a ton of $$ but I know things are tight & a little extra never hurts 7genblocks.com

I call it crowd-sourcing. Maria calls it asking random people on the Internet. We're going to run a contest for educational games with our game builder. Would $500 be a reasonable first prize? Here is the game builder - 7genblocks.com/7gen-blocks/

Every now and then, I get what I want from an AI (in this case, Gemini) on the first prompt and am surprised it worked. Here is an image I needed to teach about negative numbers #middleschoolmath

An essential requirement if you want to make games is to be able to accept that not everyone will like your game, no matter how awesome it is. Go ahead and make it anyway. Not everyone likes apples, either.

Never designed an educational game? Here is how to use your own knowledge + AI and have a good design in under 15 minutes - youtu.be/52-yDg1Gn0M

Julia had the idea of making a game starring her favorite teacher, her sister. I'm pretty sure her students are going to love seeing Ms. Rousey in a game. www.7generationgames.com/boosting-stu...

I don't care how great of a teacher you are or what you teach, there are days you think it will be a miracle if anyone learns anything. Here is what worked for me . www.7generationgames.com/how-learning...

We spent 10 years studying how kids play educational games, when they quit - because no one learns from games they don't play. Then we made a game builder with all that knowledge built in. Learn more & get the demo for free June 9th - forms.gle/F4X967XMqzug...

Just received notice my presentation at the #Wyoming Native American Education conference was accepted. See you all in August.

I love @librarycongress.bsky.social for the resources you find there and for the out links (is that a term?) I'd never find otherwise, like the National Park Service study on Route 66 - which ends a few blocks from my house in #santamonica

Why use 7Gen Blocks? Well, I made agame in an afternoon for my granddaughter when she was sick, and it really cheered her up.

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?...

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/

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

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.
