Description

From the sour-faced silver medalists atop the Olympic podium to the local sandwich shop owner handing out customer loyalty cards in hopes to win the business of hungry patrons, there’s a ton of science behind why we can’t help but find ourselves hooked on things that are perpetually so close and yet always so far. In this lively and eye-opening keynote, we’ll discover the surprising and seriously powerful cornerstones of playful pedagogy -- and learn how to tap into that same addictive energy to design meaningful, memorable classroom experiences that invite autonomy, excitement, and unprecedented levels of creativity from students and teachers alike.
