Friends, we have an awesome pod for you today! Mike and Brad discuss whether there is a standard we should meet for decorating our classrooms and our guest this week is educator, author, and friend of the podcast Matthew Farber. Guest: Matthew Farber Our guest this week is Dr. Matthew Farber, an Assistant Professor of Technology, Innovation and Pedagogy (TIP) at the University of Northern Colorado, and founder of the Gaming SEL Lab. His research is at the intersection of game-based learning (GBL) and social and emotional learning (SEL). He studies affinity spaces of educators who use games in classrooms and how they afford student agency while also teaching skills of empathy, design thinking, and systems thinking. He also works in youth initiatives around game design as a form of self-expression.
