This conference experience provided participants with the knowledge and skills needed to gamify their social studies classroom curricula! Teachers attend sessions on pedagogy, social studies content, and gamification methods to support English learners. Hands-on sessions engaged attendees on an integrated approach to supporting language and content learning through gaming elements to increase interest, lower affective filter, and provide choice in learning content through language. There were also workshops, demonstrations, and work sessions to gamify a social studies lesson to use in the classroom for English/multilingual learners.
