Brown Bag \| To Game or Not to Game: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational Gaming Applications and Interactive Learning Platforms in Live and Online Classes	Join us Friday, November 21, at 12 pm, ET, for our virtual Brown Bag session: “To Game or Not to Game: The Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational Gaming Applications and Interactive Learning Platforms in Live and Online Classes.” This session focuses on an examination of applications and platforms that promote gamification of instructional and communicational methods in in-person and virtual classrooms. By relying on a set of concrete examples from Materia, Quizlet, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Mentimeter, this Brown Bag meeting enables the participants to expand their pedagogical toolkits.
