In this 90-minute session hosted by Common Core, Vince Siu from Press Start Academy will discuss the power of play and games as a platform for learning, inspiration and growth, and lead us through concepts, theories and examples of using games to rethink teaching, redesign digital and virtual learning, and reimagine whole-person development. Open to all Common Core teachers and tutors, the session will cover:

• Learning from games and game-like environments to rethink how we create learning environments and student-teacher dynamics
• Building fun first before we build everything else in the age of distance learning and virtual classes
• Utilising games to provide structures, references and inspiration for us to reimagine learning systems and environments

Press Start Academy will present case studies from past courses and give a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how they build fun first before building everything else.
