Introduction: In this episode, Greg Posner welcomes Jennifer Javornik, the Chief Partnerships Officer at Filament Games, to discuss the impact of educational gaming and the thriving Midwest game development community. Jennifer shares insights into how Filament creates games that go beyond entertainment by transforming players and shaping the future of education through immersive, meaningful experiences.

Their goal is to make learning fun and engaging, with players emerging from their games transformed in some way—whether it's learning new concepts, developing confidence, or making behavior changes. Transformative Power of GamesResearch backs the effectiveness of well-designed games in education.

Jennifer explains how Filament Games integrates this approach into their educational products to encourage players to engage with and retain the material. Impact of COVID on Game DesignThe pandemic led to a shift in educational needs, as many students struggled with virtual learning. Jennifer shares how Filament Games adapted by exploring how their games could support students and teachers during this time. The focus has increasingly been on building multiplayer or collaborative experiences to enhance the learning environment. Innovative Platforms for Learning GamesFilament Games develops across a variety of platforms, from standard tools like Unity and Unreal to HTML5 and mobile devices. Jennifer highlights their work on more unconventional platforms, such as Roblox, and even details their creation of a unique game for pediatric MRI machines to help children remain calm during scans.

Can movies save education? Here, Robert talks for the second time on Refining Rhetoric with Hollywood actress, podcast host, and Classical Conversations® parent and Director Sam Sorbo about her family's upcoming film Miracle in East Texas. The film, delayed due to COVID-19, is now coming to theaters nationwide for an exclusive release on the weekend of October 29–30 and tells the true story of the biggest oil strike in the history of the United States. In this episode, Sam talks about working with her husband Kevin and son Braeden on Miracle in East Texas, why she created a homeschool curriculum to accompany the film, and how movies can serve as powerful tools to educate our students and encourage discussions about truth. Sam also recalls how Classical Conversations came into her life at just the right moment and gave her children the skills to succeed in their education, careers, and lives. Additionally, she and Robert discuss why cancel culture—a culture rooted in unforgiveness—is antithetical to Christianity and why the public school system demeans the true meaning of the word “education”. Show notes: RefiningRhetoric.com/Sam-Sorbo-2 Go see Miracle in East Texas at a theater near you on October 29–30! The film stars Kevin, Sam, and Braeden Sorbo, as well as John Ratzenberger of Pixar voice-acting fame. You can find tickets at SorboStudios.com.

Do you have that one kid that just fights you on learning, whether it be one subject or all of them?  Have you considered using games to move the learning along, called "gameschooling?"  When  children play games, they learn social skills like getting along, reading directions, waiting their turn, negotiating with someone, interpreting rules and even coming to an agreement when the rules aren't clear.  These are all things our children will be doing in their adult life and we can coach it in real time in our homeschools.In today's episode, Amanda talks with Cait Curley of Never Board Learning and My Little Poppies.  They discuss how they came to homeschooling when their children's needs couldn't be met by public schoolingthe many facets of gifted kidshow gameschooling can benefit all kinds of learnershow outdoor play helps foster creativity and is such an important part of developmenthow even moms who don't like playing games can use gameschooling to help their familiesResources & LinksNever Board Learning Community, www.neverboardlearning.comMy Little Poppies, www.my-little-poppies.comCait Curley on Instagram: @neverboardlearning and @my_little_poppies My Little Poppies courses, focusing on unit studies, readalouds,  and gameschooling!  "Gameschooling: 100 Educational Games for Homeschooling", www.my-little-poppies.com/100-educational-games/"Gameschooling By Subject: The Best Games for Your Homeschool," www.my-little-poppies.com/gameschooling-by-subject/ Boardgamegeek.com 10x10 challenge starts again in January.

In this episode of Dyer's Daily: Remember educational games that were fun? Jamie does!

At one point in my life, I had little money to spend. But I still had the responsibility to make sure that my daughters enjoyed their time with me. And that brought out my creative juices. Apart from the need to have fun, they were at an age where play was necessary for them to learn a few things about life. At that time, I ended up inventing a game or two that cost little to no money. More importantly, I realized what my kids actually needed. Watch today's video where I talk about how the simplest of games made some of the best days I've had with my kids. - - - - -  My daughters learning to hula hoop:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8N6ZvgFjJoM&feature=youtu.bePlay: How it Shapes the Brain, Opens the Imagination, and Invigorates the Soulhttps://www.amazon.com/Play-Shapes-Brain-Imagination-Invigorates-ebook/dp/B001SCK720/- - - - -Follow us on all channelWebsite: https://teevee.mxPodcast: https://teevee.fm

Even when guest Andrew Friedman didn't have much experience with something, but thought it would be a fun challenge to try, he would go after it. For example, having never played football in his life, he walked onto the college team. Having taken only a couple computer science classes, he started building websites for area business while still in college. In hindsight, trying to get a job in a growing internet company such as Amazon or Yahoo would have fit his self-taught skills and passions. Instead, he found himself at what he considered a traditional job consulting for PriceWaterhouse.After a couple of years, though,  he learned of an opportunity to make games for the internet. Lack of actual qualifications didn't deter him and it seemed like it could lead to something fun. Starting in the industry by building the games and doing the actual engineering, he later evolved with the evolution of the industry, working in product development and product management, as well as business strategy and operations. He's worked inside small start-ups, bigger start-ups and even established his own small company—twice.In this episode, find out from Andrew how looking for the challenge and being willing to figure things out can sometimes help you level up...on today's Roads Taken with me, Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestAndrew Friedman Andrew Friedman, who has spent over two decades in the online gaming industry, having had a hand in every aspect from engineering, product development, and product management to business strategy and operations. He has worked for many start-ups, pivoted to being an entrepreneur and starting and running his own companies, and currently works for Osmo, a children's educational gaming company.

A presentation by Kagonya Awori about her PHD research about Educational Games, the use of 360 video and AI in learning and more, followed by a talk with Sam Hopkins. Kagonya Awori proposes a lens for game design that is based on indigenous African ways of knowing. Based on a study with elders in Kenya and diaspora youth in Australia, this talk proposes a lens that can motivate the design of games that can better mediate learning for African communities. The People-Place-Praxis lens is based on the view that knowledge is developed, shared and stored over time through situated face-to-face interactions with people and indigenous epicentres. The P-P-P lens views People as knowledge, Place as knowledge and Praxis as knowledge. This triad view of knowledge asserts that immersive learning involves supporting social, situated and physical interactions among members, and in close association with indigenous epicentres. DR. KAGONYA AWORI is a Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researcher. She has over 10 years experience in User Experience Research and Design having worked across the globe in countries including Kenya, United Kingdom, and Australia, with companies such as iHub Kenya, Microsoft Research, National Australia Bank and Safaricom PLC. She holds a dual Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University (USA), a Bachelors in Business Information Technology from Strathmore University (Kenya), and a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Melbourne, (Australia)

Do you consider yourself a Math person? Most people don't, and unfortunately the statistics back this up. Just 24% of high school 12th graders scored at or above proficient on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Karin Wu and her team at the MIND Research Institute believe that expertly designed educational games can help shift Math from frustrating to fun. STMath, the game developed by her team, is based on cutting-edge neuroscience and education research.

Dr. Catherine Croft joined me to talk about educational games. We discussed these kinds of games and when these games work and when they don't. There was a lot of interesting stuff in this interview.

What in the world is “Gameschooling?” It’s where fun meets education and it can literally bring life to your entire homeschool day! Yvette Hampton and Cindy West finish their conversation this great way to make homeschooling fun (and still fabulously educational). Sometimes it’s hard to get rid of the “traditional school” mindset as we know it and venture into new ideas. But incorporating games into our homeschool creates countless opportunities for learning, social and communication skills, building relationships, creative thinking, problem solving, and…FUN!

In the current climate with so many children being home-schooled, I thought it apt to chat to a multi Award winning game designer that specialises in Educational games. Listen to Matthew Tidbury, of Think Noodle games, share his thoughts on games with educational benefits.

Aman Birdi has freed the hierarchy, and leveled the playing field where everyone within Digiruu is either a creator or an app thinker. Digiruu bypasses the need for a sales team and allows the value they provide to their customers, a.k.a. innovators, to speak for themselves.You will quickly learn through Aman's humility that he wants nothing but the best for his innovators, and the team with Digiruu will guide them along the way towards the success of their app and business.Digiruu has helped hundreds of satisfied businesses to get started on their app. Just a few years ago, after achieving success with Aman's own app startup (reached number one in the App Store for the “Educational Games” category and the top 50 of all games, ahead of established names such as Iron Man and Spiderman). Bottom-line is Aman and his team know what they're talking about and provide immense value.

An artificial intelligence (AI) model can now better determine the degree of students' learning using educational games. Researchers from North Carolina State University created a model that can project student achievement on a test based on students' previous experience with learning tools like educational games. The researchers tested the effectiveness of their model by analyzing student behavior while student participants played an educational game called Crystal Island.  In the game, participants act as medical agents engaging in different tasks to investigate a disease outbreak on an island. Before and after playing the game, the participants took a survey and a 17-item test. According to one of the researchers, the team wanted the AI model to be capable of predicting whether or not students would answer each item on the test correctly just by analyzing how they played Crystal Island. Using data from 181 students, the AI identified similar game-playing behaviors among students who answered each test item correctly and among those who answered erroneously. The model then used this data to predict how a new student would answer the same test item. According to the researchers, this AI model was about 10% more accurate in predicting student performance than other AI models. The researchers believe their model can be used to improve teaching and learning results. For instance, the model can alert teachers if students need supplementary lessons. Another researcher said the AI model can open the door to more sophisticated educational programs that can adjust to students' needs.

The organization Games for Change is hard to describe as being just one thing: they throw a Festival that happens every year in NYC, and that's been the backbone of the organization, but around that has grown a really important community of artists and activists, educators, computer scientists, developers, funders, and game studios who believe deeply in the power of games for improving the human experience. Sometimes that's about empathy for other humans, sometimes it's about zooming in on something remarkable, sometimes it's about simply tapping the playfulness in all of us. When I think of Games for Change - some might call them Serious Games - I think of titles like Dys4ia, a flashgame by the legendary Anna Anthropy - quoting from Wikipedia, "to recount her experiences of gender dysphoria and hormone replacement therapy". There are hundreds of titles, and many would argue that the boundaries between "serious games" and others is really about your game design practice, more than genre. They can be blurry, when you put them up against Educational Games, or even virtual environments where the outcomes aren't purely a play for revenue.I've been really lucky to be a part of this organization's evolution as a participant at the festival, as a partner to their student game design challenge in my role at Mouse, and as a member of the community that gains so much from the vision they put forward 15 years ago. I feel like an Anniversary gift is in order, and while I didn't send chocolates to founders - Ben Stokes, Barry Joseph, Suzanne Seggerman - it felt like the next best thing to spend some time with G4C President, Susanna Pollack, and give you a chance to hear from two winners at this year's festival.3 Conversations, 15 years of Games for Change - enjoy.Notes from this episode:Games For Change: http://www.gamesforchange.org/Attentat 1942: http://attentat1942.com/Attentat 1942 Gameplay: https://youtu.be/kLct7kVW1sMCharles University: https://cuni.cz/About Assassins Creed, Origins for Education: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/16/arts/assassins-creed-origins-education.htmlSTEAM: https://store.steampowered.com/Technology Student Association: http://www.tsaweb.org/Play Garrett at Chameleon School: http://tsabms.bsd.k12.pa.us/VideoGameDesign/Team903/2018 G4C Student Challenge Winners: http://www.gamesforchange.org/studentchallenge/awards-2018-student-challenge/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode, we discuss how board games can be educational and if there is any value to making a distinction between regular games and educational ones. Then we switch gears and talk about the news of the day, because when you think important, hard-hitting commentary on the great issues of our time, you think Tom and Johannes's board game podcast. Intro Gag: Comin' to ya' live from 12,000 years in the future, I'm the unfrozen head of Johannes Stauffer, and with me as always is the partially-defrosted left patella of MIkhail Gorbachev, and this is the Mildly Alarming Podcast. Episode 27: Yes, Isaac, We Know These Episode Numbers Don't Match Up. Segment 1: Educational Games We're actually very fond of The Five Minute Geek Show and its host is a delightful man. Here are the articles we discussed in the EduGames segment: Educational video games can boost motivation to learn Fact or Fiction?: Video Games Are the Future of Education Newell sees no distinction 'between games and educational games' The Book Johannes referenced that mentioned the James Earl Jones Effect is The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. Episode Sponsor: Clicky Keyboards Segment 2: Booze 'n the News And here are the ones we discussed in the Booze n' the News segment. I've kept the headlines secret to preserve the surprise for listeners.

Todays guest entrepreneur is creating an amazing lifestyle for himself due to being a content marketing machine. H has been in the business one way or another since way back in the early 2000s. Technology seems to be something that brings him to life,and when you look at his career it has taken him in directions that like everyone who spends time with me to Join Up Dots could not have been perceived at the very beginning. He loves to code and write programs, and this love allowed him to start creating his own IPhone apps.His very first one hitting the number 8 position under Educational Games in iTunes.I 'm not sure if this is good or not, but I am certainly going to find out during the discussion. He has contributed to major publications including Lifehack, Social Media Examiner, iPhoneLife, Unbounce, Kissmetrics,and many more and even now hosts his own podcast focused on guess what mobile apps.So how does he come up with areas of focus for his business? And how does he decide the direction to go into, with so many areas that must make him to want to jump in all directions at once. He describes himself as 60% marketer, 30% developer, 10% designer and 100% hustler.And fortunately for us he isn't very good at maths, as I would sling in 100% conversationalist too.So lets get down to business and start joining up the dots with the one and only, 200%'r…… Mr Steve Young.
