I’m happy to be facilitating the next session at Sadler Heath.
Sadler Heath is an organisation established for those of us who want to take responsibility for their own long-term personal development and thought leadership by working together with like-minded people in a safe and supportive environment.
This workshop will be about using games for learning:
- games are a powerful tool for learning, as playing a game creates a great learning environment,
- the mindset that people have when they play a game is consistent with learning; engaged, open, looking for connections, enjoying themselves,
- the rules and object of the game can link with the learning material,
- games involve multiple senses and patterns of thinking, and so involve different types of learners,
- games are a great ice breaker and allow experiential understanding of the topic in discussion,
- games have an element of ambiguity, and so enable different people to learn
- different things.
Workshop structure:
- we will get curious about games, finding out how and why they work as learning tool,
- we will use this knowledge to practice facilitating games,
- we will move on to create our own games that support an idea.
