It's the least I could do after hearing the incredible stories from librarians and library media specialists. A Love Letter to Librarians - #AASL Reflections Blog gamestormedu.com/2025/10/21/t... #AASL25 #AASL2025 #futurereadylibs #libchat

In honor of AI Literacy Day, I would like to share the first "big" change to my attribution4ai.org site - Human and AI Iterative Attribution for creative projects. This type of attribution would acknowledge when a human user leverages AI technology in an iterative process. #AI #AIinEDU

I was fortunate enough to attend the Wisconsin Esports Summit in MKE today. Always great hearing panel presentations, chatting with vendors, and networking with fellow educators, students, professionals, etc in the esports world!

Let's be honest - the Science of Reading curriculum doesn't often jump off the pages for our students! So I thought - what if we created resources to help educators use GAMES to practice skills like phonics, fluency, and comprehension with our learners?! Welp, here it is! https://buff.ly/3CWR23f

Lots of my game design projects are focused on creating commercial products for the education space, but some of my projects are, well, just for me and my loved ones! Take CanDnD - I developed this mix of Dungeons & Dragons & Candyland after being bored with Candyland by itself.

We know, we know - it's really HARD to work games into the curriculum, #ideacon So we did it for you - here's FIVE ways our games align with state standards! #IDEACon2025 gamestormedu.com/2025/02/03/f...

Oh hey #IDEACon - do you like games? Do you like education? Check out our educational board and card games - Gamestormers and Doomscroll - at our GamestormEDU site! We've got free lesson plans for each game that explore persuasive speaking, social media literacy, and more!

I am missing #IDEACon this year, but I've got a good reason (see copy-paste below).

Tomorrow is the big day--the start of #IDEACon! If you are attending the conference, I hope we can connect in person! It would be incredible to see some friendly, familiar faces in the audience when I present about cinematic VR & empathy at 9:30 am in Nirvana C! #TLsky #Skybrarian #edtech #ARVRinEDU

In lieu of gifts on my birthday, I humbly request that you buy anywhere from 1-50 copies of Gamestormers and/or Doomscroll from our GamestormEDU site. The money goes to a good cause - my daughters' college funds.

It goes without saying, but this might be one of my favorite visual depictions of data in the history of the universe.

I wrote a short blog about how our games align with Common Core State Standards across a range of subjects for literacy, writing, and speaking. You can check out the blog and our snazzy infographic at the included link! #Tabletop #Tabletopgaming #EduSky #LevelUpEDU https://buff.ly/4jIxgZx

I like to think I'm a pretty humble person overall, but man, I'm gonna make an exception and brag for a moment. Really proud of this FINAL degree (I think it's the last one, heh). Once again, please don't call me doctor 😂 #PhDone #EduSky #LevelUpEDU

I'm excited to share that my full dissertation is available on ProQuest with full access! If you're curious the link is below - I researched collaborative design in virtual reality compared to video conferencing. https://buff.ly/40X7oSJ #EduSky #LevelUpEDU

It's bad enough we're reading Anne Frank's personal journal without her permission. Maybe we shouldn't recreate her using AI without her permission as well.

Hey folks! I wrote an article about 5 research-based reasons for games in the library and classroom - check it out here! I also included each reason as a brief infographic too - feel free to use and share. #EduSky #LevelUpEDU https://buff.ly/3E37IpS

Did you see this?! Eagles receiver AJ Brown caught playing Gamestormers board game on the sidelines during the Philly-GB playoff game last weekend. That must be SOME game! #FETC #FETC25 #FETC2025 #EduSky #LevelUpEDU

Board and card games for your classroom and library? We got em! Gamestormers and Doomscroll are a one-time purchase, come with FREE curriculum, and are just plain FUN for students. #FETC #FETC2025 #fetc25 #edusky #LevelUpEDU

I created a simple visual system for creators and students/teachers to transparently indicate how AI was utilized in their designs, and I'm learning that it is making the rounds in art, education, and tech circles! https://buff.ly/4af8xrJ #EduSky #FETC #FETC2025

Hey #Edusky and #FETC folks! Friendly reminder that we have TWO phenomenal educational board games you can order now from GamestormEDU. Doomscroll is our social media literacy game, and Gamestormers is our creative storytelling and persuasion game. #FETC2025 #FETC25 #LevelUpEDU

Just finished up our Doomscroll card game Lesson Plan - complete with debrief questions after gameplay. I'd love to hear your thoughts - let me know if it sounds interesting, confusing, etc. Thanks!

Tired of the same old routine? Want to make learning FUN for your students? Join us for a session on Games, Games, Games @GerilynWilliams #FETC @nationalfetc

This month was a season of unboxing - for my daughter Quinn, it was her first Christmas! For our upcoming game, Doomscroll, it was opening up the near-final production prototype for the first time! I wrote about each in the blog & video clip below! #EduSky #levelupEDU https://buff.ly/4fVeLhL

Ludocene is the game discovery tool we are cooking. Tinder, but it's a deck builder that matches you with games. Prototype almost ready for Kickstarter: ✅ Build a deck of favourites ✅ Accept/Reject matches ✅ Pin what to play next ✅ Review suggestion logic Something you'd share. Any suggestions?

After feedback on our first game, I added a single player mode to our second game, Doomscroll! Digging how it turned out.

I bought motivational pants today. That is to say, if I'm not motivated to eat healthy or work out, these pants will not fit much longer. These are not to be confused with aspirational pants, which are pants you one day hope to fit into after making some life changes. Questions are permitted.

It takes a village to write a dissertation. Time for some thank yous: 1. My family, starting with my wife. She & my daughters were so supportive throughout this process. 2. My dissertation committee chair, Dr. Xie, was incredible. 3. My colleagues, including Dr. Andrea Trudeau, were wonderful.

So @andrea-trudeau.bsky.social and I did a thing today!

My toddler girl dad hot take: By the time we hear "Let It Go" in Frozen, four superior songs have already dropped in the film. Change my mind.

Would you pronounce this animal's name ky-oh-tee or ky-oht? Your state/location would be appreciated! I'm in Wisconsin and I've heard both. Probably ky-oht from more rural areas.

The only reason I keep that one app is to read Chicago Bears Twitter reactions, heh.

It's Time, #Edusky - what are your picks?

DEER HUNTING CULTURE EDUSKY - a query for you: Is it acceptable to hang a killed deer from a tree in the front yard of a populated suburban neighborhood about 8 feet from the sidewalk? #deerhuntingsky (this cannot be a real hashing, can it)?

Tis the season to reshare my top 10 essential readings in #gamestudies as it is essentially my science + games you should buy these books holiday list www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhE4...

35% off Gamestormers?! That can't be right... how would we make any money?! Ah well, we're gonna do it anyways. Score Gamestormers on Amazon for a limited time at its LOWEST price ever! a.co/d/5soz7qF

During this Thanksgiving break I am finishing up a Jenga style review game template. Anyone out there in the #edusky world play Jenga with their classes as a review game? Would love to hear ideas. Also, looking for some classroom teachers to test it out once its done

Okay #Edusky - what's your process for walking students through verifying or discrediting this image? #digitalcitizenship #digcit

Sorry for the shameless self-promotion #LevelUpEDU - but my educational board game, Gamestormers, is 35% off on Amazon right now - it's our lowest price EVER. Check it out if you want your students, kiddos, friends, etc to engage in creative storytelling - we've got lesson plans for all ages!

Why yes, #edusky - there IS a flash sale on our Gamestormers educational board game on Amazon right now. Check it out!

Is there anything more satisfying than a perfect back of a board game box? I may be biased, but I think we nailed it with Doomscroll, our upcoming educational card game! #edusky

8:00-8:30 CT is usually when I'm trying to get this nugget to fall asleep,but I'll try my best to join #eduskychat tonight!

If you're having a bad day, here is my daughter going ice skating for the first time. #edusky #edtech

Why yes, I will be shamelessly promoting our educational board game, Gamestormers, on Bluesky. Thanks for asking, #edusky

I hope all of your sportsball teams do well today unless they are playing my sportsball team.

Would any #edusky peeps like a copy of the slide deck on AI Tactics in Spreading Disinformation & How to Spot It session I did for future Social Studies teachers this past week? Might be interesting to library media and ELA folks too.

Just some casual Saturday morning engagement farming by leveraging my daughter's perfection.
