Come play with us! This panel brings together practitioners to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities in designing playful learning experiences for the classroom in an appropriately game-inspired format. Participants from BrainPOP, Cracking Wise Interactive, Classroom, Inc., Curriculum Associates, and Teachley will draw on their diverse experience to speak to topics including implementation and design, distribution, and professional development and teacher training. Topics will be selected by the audience from a set of possible directions and answered by the panelists in a playful "Family Feud"-style format. Time will also be reserved for audience Q&A.
