Blogje bij @Mediawijzer ✨️

[Netwerk Mediawijsheid @Mediawijzer]

Lang was er aandacht voor de mogelijke negatieve effecten van games, zoals verslavingsrisico’s en agressie. Docent pedagogische wetenschappen @yoanneke bespreekt nieuwe inzichten op dat gebied. Kan gamen helpen bij de ontwikkeling van sociale vaardigheden?https://t.co/7dV9BpkFZf

Me and @KenKoontz17 had a great #GEMHsession with Matthew Kreutter from @ConnectedCamps. which inspired me to think about leveraging existing game spaces and platforms that youth already inhabit to create supportive online communities 💡

[GEMH Lab @GEMH_Lab]

In #GEMHSession 5 we talked with Matthew Kreutter from @ConnectedCamps about creating online spaces like Minecraft and Discord servers to support grieving youth. You can watch this session and previous sessions on the #GEMHLab Youtube channel! ▶ https://t.co/exIcRnQcCT

[Joanneke Weerdmeester @yoanneke]

Ik werd benaderd door @socialevraagst om kort iets te vertellen over de link tussen gamen en welzijn. Check it out if you're interested.

Vorige week was ik samen met Dr @EelkeSpaak
te gast bij @RUReflects om te praten over de relatie tussen gamen, cognitie, gedrag en (mentaal) welzijn, Mocht je interesse hebben, de video van deze sessie staat nu online!✨🎮 https://t.co/HaHrdd2asP

Ran a game of Ten Candles🕯last Saturday and it was AMAZING! Can't stop thinking about it and can't wait to play it again! It's a tragic horror RPG by Cavalry Games (@shiftyginger) you play in a single session by candlelight. If you like RPGs you should definitely try it!

[Joanneke Weerdmeester @yoanneke]

@chwoodiwiss @rickbenger @TempletonWorld @GEMH_Lab It was so wonderful to meet and work with you and I'm so excited to see how your project will grow! 🌱✨️

[Joanneke Weerdmeester @yoanneke]

So thankful to everyone who shared their time and wisdom with us 🤗It was truly magical!✨️ Strengthened my belief in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and reignited my drive to find ways to better support tech-for-wellbeing projects! 🚀

[Nastasia Griffioen, PhD @Gryphire]

Last week, our core @GEMH_Lab team organized a retreat (w/ massive help from amazing @Chr_sM!) for designers, scientists and developers about creating tech-for-wellbeing solutions that are rooted in the necessary merging of science and design. It was intense but a blast! 🤯😄 1/3

[Joanneke Weerdmeester @yoanneke]

@DomMaciejewski I let them complete it during the last class via mentimeter. The answers are still anonymous (filled out by phone) but at least everyone fills it out. Afterwards I also leave time for a plenary discussion if they want to share some ideas for improvement directly.

[Joanneke Weerdmeester @yoanneke]

If you've got time to kill at Utrecht central station this week and you want to relax or have some fun you can try out DEEP @exploreDEEP at the @Nedfilmfestival pop-up booth between Sept 22nd-30th from 12 to 9 PM! Go check it out! 🤩
