ASK ME ANYTHING with Justin Wigard - Ludic Pedagogy: Teaching with Video Games in the Online Classroom
As part of my ongoing engagement with game studies, I worked with video games in various contexts (popular culture courses, as pedagogical tools, as a mode of research), and regularly teach video games in different classroom formats/contexts (F2F popular culture courses, asynchronous summer courses, etc). Throughout the day, I will be online talking through approaches to teaching games in the online classroom, including but not limited to different methodological approaches (quantitative and qualitative), how to choose the best game for the class, and even some helpful pedagogical strategies for games and access/accessibility.

I just heard about the idea of "enduring understandings" and thought I'd share some resources that have been helpful. This website from the Pedagogy Resources at the University of Alaska Fairbank (UAF) has lots of great info! From a brief explanation of the concept to applying the ideas in your course (including considerations for online) - I'm excited to think more about what this looks like in my day-to-day.

Attached below is the UAF Understanding by Design Tree, a tool to help in planning your course as a way to help identify what you expect students to get out of the course and how those “results” will be distributed between assignments and scaffolded through course content.

As we begin to think about the Fall 2024 semester -- Starting in less than one month. . . Yikes! -- here are a couple of links to Sam Kary's Next Generation Teacher Youtube channel that might be interesting to mine for ideas when it comes to student use of digital tools as part of our courses and classrooms:

Chat GPT for Teachers | Beginners' Tutorial -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4HJZzwt3lY

Ignite Student Creativity with These Unique Projects -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-oISKlEesg


Hope this might be interesting and helpful if you are looking to shake up things a bit. Besides Sam Kary, there are a few other teachers/professors/authors who have lots of useful advice on how to liven up our courses and classrooms in the digital age, including how we might use AI in our courses and classrooms. I've included links to their Youtube channels below:
