Teachers are broken up into design teams who enhance a traditional lesson with the mechanics of popular board games in only 20 minutes. Led by a professor from the City University of New York (CUNY). What does the lesson “Finding Citations,” the game “Trivial Pursuit,” and the mechanic “Bluffing” all have in common? In this bootcamp brainstorm facilitated by a professor from the City University of New York (CUNY), attendees are broken up into design teams whose job it is to enhance a traditional lesson with the mechanics of popular board games in only 20 minutes. Whether you have to teach the rules of citation or the rule of conservation, there is usually a game plan that can help. This session provides a fun introduction to the principles of game-based learning and how to integrate them into your teaching. It also shows you that anyone who has designed a curriculum can also design a game!
