Representation and voice are critical in the classroom, so students can see themselves within the work they do. Have a read about this- https://t.co/7itBuC0VHP
@BCTELA@vandoza (2/2) We focused on the notion from Gray & Leonard (2018) “games have the potential to foster change through empathy and compassion” (p. 19) - exploring if and how this is true in relation to the games we play and how this differs from reading/viewing text #bctelabook2023
@BCTELA@vandoza (1/2) In EFP11 we explored Indigenous Futurisms - focusing on new media, including video games such as "Hill Agency" <https://t.co/wIrGs5dyBd> and "Never Alone" <https://t.co/TB8HNRupbR> #bctelabook2023
@BCTELA In reference to M'Lot & Ferguson's focus on "learning and unlearning" (Resurgence, p. 15) I would use the visible thinking strategy "I used to think... but now I see..." to explore the impact of a learning experience on our worldview. #bctelabook2023

M'Lot & Ferguson's advice to "have an open discussion with your students about what it feels, sounds, and looks like to respect a story" (Resurgence, p. 9) resonated with me as I think about the beginning of the school year #bctelabook2023
@vandoza Some links to explore about current games that counter the Oregon Trail of our youth: When Rivers Were Trails - https://t.co/G5qLPOp4bb & https://t.co/p7T986tYJQ
@BCTELA In my EFP11 class we played and reflected on Longboat's game and then ideated the "next level", thinking about what we learned from other texts we read in the course and the notion of Indigenous Futurisms (Part 2)
@BCTELA Digital storytelling enables an intimate experience for reader/players - taking on a perspective and taking action based on it. In the cooperative platformer game "Terra Nova" by Maiz Longboat players explore the Mi'kmaq principle of Etuaptmumk "Two Eyed Seeing" (Part 1)
