    The Ludoverse Lab: Come experience role-playing games with other educators and discuss how they might be used in the classroom. Games currently run on Saturdays from 11 a.m -2 p.m. EDT. The schedule of upcoming games is at the Ludoverse blog, or you can e-mail Robbie. I'm looking to widen the community of gamifying educators, so please reach out if you have an interest.

Very informative and approachable

This is an excellent podcast examining get the ways that gamified methodology can be incorporated into teaching. I'm not an educator but I am an avid fan of games and run a number of training sessions as part of my job so the topic was very appealing. Mr Cassie has a very inviting conversational tone and his approach was completely understandable even to someone like myself without a background in educational theory. I'm hoping I can take away some strategies for developing more engaging trainings and also learn about some fun new games at the same time.
