Hello All-

This forum is for everyone that has an interest in teaching games either in schools, libraries or just wants a few tips on how to be a better teacher! I subscribe to an e-letter that is full of interesting articles. I'll post those here!

In fact, here's the first one! Welcome to the new generation of education!

I did an 80-page lesson plan for one of my graduate classes using HeroClix as both a reward system and a personal development tool.

Games are good!

I am developing a lesson on integer review centered on the game Straw. Once I have finished it, presented it, and revised it, I will post it here. This is a great sounding board, and I look forward to continued discussion.

Also, I have used the concept/game play of Wits & Wagers to help my students on estimation. This worked out really well. If you would like more information, please contact me.
