Maya Fein
Short Description:
Learn and play games that Ive created and commercial games that Ive adapted that build skills in communication, interpersonal dynamics, and understanding each others unique POV.
Long Description:
These interactive games focus on how language and images can be interpreted differently, how to collaborate, and how to understand anothers POV while still authentically expressing your own. The range of activities Ill share can be applied throughout the arc of a course, within a specific unit, during a singular class period, or even as a 15-minute exercise. I will demonstrate my games: Subtext, Descriptionary, and Draw What I Mean. As well as adapted Commercial Games: Team 3, Hues and Cues, Dixit, Just One, and Blank Slate. Led by Prof. Maya Michele Fein of Baldwin Wallace University and assisted by student, Matt Hanrahan. For more in-depth pedagogy behind the games, join me for my Gamification & UDL: A Practical Application event.
