TRD21195610Games As Bilingual And Beyond Resources
Social interaction is critical to developing a secondary (and beyond) language. A critical part of any tabletop game is the social interaction, but some games promote less inaction than others. (Chess, for example, can be played without muttering one word to your opponent.) This presentation will discuss what to look for and what to avoid when it comes to using games as language resources. There are current examples, and an open forum to brainstorm other ideas.

Make Your Escape
Escape rooms continue to be a popular pastime. Physical escape rooms have expanded to include tabletop games and online experiences. Digital escape rooms can also be used as effective training tools. A digital escape room engages the learner by using game mechanics such as story, Easter eggs, puzzle-solving, & competition & provides a unique platform for learning. But how can you build one on a budget without paying for expensive licenses or artist fees? In this presentation, you will learn how to use PowerPoint to create a basic escape room that can be deployed as a PowerPoint presentation and address ways to make the escape room accessible for people with disabilities. By the end of the session, you too will be �Making Your Escape.�
