A4: Not sure if this counts as a game, but I’ve always loved doing digital scavenger hunts and incorporating VR through stations; Also, I wonder if it we could survey learners throughout the year and ask them to share about tools/topics/games they're excited about and then incorporate. #LevelUpEDU

A3: As a former ELAR teacher, I used to really enjoy playing Context Clue Uno and Inferencing Trashketball with learners; I'd love for it to be more student led and to give more voice/choice on an objective they're working to improve within; Open to suggestions/other games in general! #LevelUpEDU

A2: Both playing games and growing academically require problem solving and flexibility; Helping students reflect on their learnings, both in real life and games, could help extend the learning. #LevelUpEDU

Just a note that tonight will be our last synchronous live ed chat on BlueSky for #LevelUpEDU. We've been posting same time same place since November and we're gonna shift to a daily slow chat question for our communities next week!

A1: I'm still learning about digital games, but “The Game of Life” and Jenga come to mind. "Game of Life" can explore choices and flexibility, while Jenga with reflection questions, can prompt thinking about challenges, change, and goals. #LevelUpEDU

I'm Jasmine -- Senior Project Manager and former ELAR educator! Based in TX. Any fun ELAR game recommendations? Send them my way! #LevelUpEDU

🍎 My goal is to use games and other strategies to create a safe learning environment that reinforces that the “teacher” is NOT the only one that can impart knowledge to others! Let’s be intentional about encouraging others to share their passions/areas of expertise. #LifeLongLearning #LevelUpEDU

🤔This was a tough question. I’m curious about professional learning strategies for educators with Storyboard That, Lead4ward, and Miro! Definitely open to partnerships and resources outside of those to expand my learning! #LevelUpEDU

🎮 I’d love to explore and dive into more educational games. As a former #ELAR teacher, I definitely tried to gamify learning and vary strategies. To start my creative thinking, I’d often reference Lead4Ward’s instructional strategies. #LevelUpEDU

👋 Happy Thursday, #LevelUpEDU community – I’m Jasmine; Sr. Project Manager for educator community partnerships, former MS + HS ELAR educator based in TX! 🤠
