It's all Fun and Games: Constructing Knowledge with Video Games and Toys

Tyler Kinner, Laura Levy, Jack Wood, and Therese Boston

When you think of learning through play, you probably think of early-age children learning the basics of the world with colored blocks and toy cars. But what if teachers harnessed the intrinsic interest students have in toys and video games to propel teaching and learning? From exploring the physics of a fidget spinner to evaluating the story-telling in Fortnite, toys and video games have valuable potential to do more than distract from the learning process. This workshop will engage teachers in learning through play in GSE-aligned experiences that leverage toys and video games across STEAM!
