Posting on FB today about @Flippfly ‘s Race The Sun.

Our students in detention played this every weekday at the end of class for 7 months. They would take turns on apocalypse mode, posting some impressive scores!

Shareable game, excellent for occupying an anxious mind. #SEL

Capture card donated!! Yay!!

Thanks to our longtime supporters for giving something like that in a time like this.

Streamers are literally how we got started and our inspiration.

Equipment may take a minute to get here but I’m hoping to try a short game next week.

#SXSWgaming got us up and running 3 years ago. Love to all the disappointed people out there.

Following up our resiliency lesson with a focus on reframing. Best example of framing in story telling I know? @mikeBithell ‘s Thomas Was Alone.

The switch, it’s handy... Florence game played by six classes today. Made for a super relaxed Friday. Learning all about Resilience. #SEL #GBL @A_i

I mean... Nour and Majd are a really cute couple, so it works. ❤️

[Let's Play Program @letsplayprogram]

An old favorite today: @reignsgame Playing Kings and Queens on the switch! We are teaching decision making models with it. It works SO well. A perfect application of this lesson, but safe and #traumainformed...even w/ the dark stuff. #SEL #ResponsibleDecisionMaking #SODASModel

Back to @donutcounty today. 🕳 🍩 🦝 Teaching elements of social awareness in...the silliest way possible. #empathy #perspectivetaking #gbl #sel

Oh...I almost forgot about this... @georgebatch... the 12/13 boys found the 1 (and I believe only) f-bomb in Hot Date.

I have never seen it before in 3 years of using your game to teach active listening skills to teens.

I immediately died. They loved it, of course. 🤦‍♀️😂🙄

Emotion identification/regulation week 3. From VR to browser games. I don’t think they will mind at all. They are responding to every platform

@LiminalVR experiences worked great for the last two weeks. @ncasenmare games let me get specific. #TraumaInformed #SEL #GBL

[Let's Play Program @letsplayprogram]

A little update on our year so far. #SEL #AltEd #GBL https://t.co/avm77NzG0Y

[Let's Play Program @letsplayprogram]

First of many days of VR... gonna be the first experience for most of the students.

Here we go! #alted #SEL #GBL #oculusgo

[Let's Play Program @letsplayprogram]

Annnnd I forgot health masks for our VR stuff tomorrow. 🤦‍♀️ So it will be a “try at your own risk” kind of day. Doh.

I wonder when someone will sell these at a brick and mortar store...

Kids are resilient, right? 🙄

Courtesy of our partner teacher... and after a full day of programming!

AltEd teachers are amazing. 🤗

[Let's Play Program @letsplayprogram]

Contstraints. We’ve always thought about programming in terms of limitations: equipment, experience, time. Schools and teachers have limited resources.

So today, we’re running a dozen games with an old chrome book and an iPhone 6. 🤗

The games industry has a broken heart right now. For all those struggling, we are so sorry. For all those fighting the fires, y’all are amazing.

This has impacted so many indies who helped us, answered ?’s from me, whose work inspired us.

Sitting with y’all in your grief ❤️

At the very beginning of #MeToo, I wrote about how @alienmelon’s ‘Everything Is Going To Be OK’ helped me cope with how absolutely not OK everything felt. If you’re not feeling OK right now — if you just need art that refuels your soul — go play it.
