The Artful Escape is a must play for fans of walking Simulators and for fans of music in general. This game tells a wonderful story about living up to the expectations placed on you by everyone around you. Do you do what others want of you or do you pursue your dreams? The music is also incredible. Wednesdays at 7:30pm EST. Teaching With Video Games Curriculum at https://www.heylistengames.org/​

School has often been a source of frustration for many gamers. Too much homework too little creativity and no connections between content and real-life are some of students’ go-to responses. HOWEVER what if we told you there are a bunch of teachers that are pushing the boundaries of the classroom to not only encourage gaming but utilize game-based learning tabletop games and video games as perfect catalysts for student learning? Join Zack Hartzman: Social Studies/ ELA Teacher & Founder of Hey Listen Games Harry Loizides: Math Teacher & Contributor to Six One Indie Maryann Cullinan: Middle School Teacher and Adam Mills: Special Education/Social Studies Teacher & Author for a fun and honest panel where we advocate that games should absolutely be in classrooms.

I can't think of a better game to teacher 'Author's Purpose' than The Beginner's Guide. It's a super fascinating game about game development and the relationship between the dev team and the players.

We believe that games have a transformative power in education and are able to bridge the gap between what students love to do at home, and what they have to learn at school. We also believe that learning how to use games in education should be easier. Join four industry professionals (Zack Hartzman: High School Teacher and founder of Hey Listen Games, Harry Loizides: Mathematics teacher & contributor to Six One Indie, Amelia Herbst, MS: Therapist at Game to Grow, and Shane Tilton: Associate Professor at Ohio Northern University or Advisory Board & Geek Therapeutics) for a live game study. We will take a deep dive into a video game series that your students know and love. You are bound to leave with some great ideas for future class activities.
