He is the Princi-Pal of School of Gaming! The coolest school on the planet! He plays Minecraft with children online because their parents can't, don't know how to, or don't want to. He keeps the young gamers safe and sound online and teaches them (and their parents) how to become model digital citizens of the future. He believes in the power of play. Unfortunately, play is something that is quickly decreasing in this world. Believe it or not, but adults seem to have forgotten that play without adults always interfering, making rules, and setting structures is actually the best way for children to learn. Through play, they learn the skills they need for the future. At School of Gaming, he links the popular online games that children already love with offline plays. They get together online every week, and the plays continue off-screen. He is an entrepreneur at heart, not afraid to take risks, and he comes with an adventurer's mindset. He has been working on interesting projects in various parts of the beautiful planet, trying to make the world a better place. The world keeps taking him constantly towards new (ad)ventures, and he just doesn't resist—not a single bit! Drop him anywhere in the world and come back 6 months later to see what's going on. He has probably started an impact enterprise, a football team, or a new nation. But to be honest, with School of Gaming, he feels that he has arrived home. And he feels that this is his last startup. And that's a good thing…

Frank Moody currently serve as the Education Liaison in the USA for GameMaker, a 2D game engine, and has been using game design to support students and educators in the creation of engaging learning experiences for over 15 years, including working withGameMaker, Unreal, and Unity. As a teaching administrator for 25 years, he has always believed that his role was more environmental engineering than the controller of information. Having fallen into the position ofAs Director of Technology at a small private school in the summer of 1995, he was tasked with updating their network (token ring) of first gen Macs to a cross-platform ethernet network running i486 and power Mac computers to all classrooms and dormitory rooms. To accomplish this task he needed to use students as labor thus becoming an unintentional educator of technology.Confronting challenges, solving problems, and learning side by side with his students served as a powerful introduction to teaching and learning. So much so, that when the time came for students to switch from being consumers to producers of digital information he continued to build environments where he could learn alongside them. This included digital audio and video studios, performance art centers, and music buildingsand of course game design classrooms, robotics labs, and computer programming.Times have changed and now what used to take a dedicated room and expensive equipment can all take place on a laptop or smartphone. He is now on a learning journey to find ways to distill the design frameworks that happened in those specialized classrooms throughout the curriculum and my starting point is game design as he believes STEM skills can be taught outside of siloed courses and within the humanities. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wondernamya/message
