Anyone playing The Alters? I’m pretty obsessed but the sun is getting closer on Act 2 and I’m panicking I didn’t explore fast enough. #LevelUpEdu #gamer #survivalgames

#ResidentEvil marathon this weekend. Currently on Apocalypse. I’ve often thought it would be much more effective to fight crime and be an overall gun wielding badass in a blue bustier and a mini skirt instead of a uniform..or armor..or some other protective nonsense. #gamer

Today’s entertainment: 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later then 28 Years Later at the movies tonight. I feel like you would appreciate this marathon @adoom98.bsky.social 😅 #horrorfan

I’m either gonna have to cross the ocean or you are so we can hang out irl one day 😁

This looks like fun!!

A group of four people—three men and one woman—stand smiling under purple lighting in front of the Unreal Fest Game Jam stage backdrop. Each person is holding a pink cake pop, celebrating their teamwork. The background features branding for Full Sail University, Unreal Engine, MSI, and the event’s retro game-themed graphics.

A selfie taken at the Unreal Fest Game Jam with a woman in the foreground smiling and three teammates seated behind her at a row of tables, all working on laptops. Two teammates flash peace signs, and the room is lit with stage lights and spotlights, giving a festive, energetic atmosphere. Other developers are seen working in the background.

I built a game with UEFN at a game jam this weekend!

It’s about gathering ingredients for the perfect burger in a journey through the multiverse with parkour, stealth, and hidden item mechanics.

I loved designing the “bun” planet.

Poster for tomorrow night's LLP Live session with Rhianna Hawkins (aka Willow Flame) all about her escapades as a game designer with a specialty in language learning and signed languages.

tomorrow evening I'll be chatting with Willow Flame about their work developing games for language learning and signed languages. The session will be held on Zoom, and you're welcome to join us.

Let me know what you think after!

I thought it was delightful and literally laughed out loud in the theater at the absurdity. It completely made fun of itself, had some Easter eggs and the acting was honestly decent. Was also a nice full circle moment on the Tony Todd character 👀 It’s not 5 star cinema, but it’s quite fun.

I think Final Destination could also be titled “Rube Goldberg gone horrifically awry” although that’s not quite as catchy…

Ok. Omg. I had no idea how many Easter eggs were in each subsequent film and I had a blast picking them out (and I’m sure I missed plenty). It is absolute ridiculous horror but it was fun. I got tickets to see Bloodlines tomorrow night!

Hehe I’ll still do the cinema self date but wanted to chill indoors today. It started storming 🤩 (although it does every afternoon in Florida this time of year lol). Just wrapped up 1. Moving on to 2. Reminded me of pre travel days when I was deathly afraid of flying 😅 log trucks next I think!

So. Just finished Blue Prince this morning (ok, Day 38, not “finished” but got through antechamber to credits).
Thought about going to movie theater solo to see the new Final Destination but my mood is telling me to marathon the series fully solo (at home lol). Thoughts @adoom98.bsky.social ? 😅

Promotional graphic for CrossRoads 2025. It features a teacher guiding students in building robotics with the tagline “Racing into the Age of AI.” The event takes place May 7–9, 2025 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Infosys Foundation USA logo appears in the corner.

Heading to Indianapolis for Crossroads 2025 and feeling so energized!

This year marks 10 years of the InfyMakers Awards, and I’m excited to celebrate the amazing work educators are doing across the country.

Follow along for updates and snapshots from the event!

Colorful graphic with the words "Powerful Learning" illustrated in bold, playful fonts. Each letter is integrated with educational-themed icons: a VR headset, pencil, gears, magnifying glass, lightbulb, mobile device, robot arm, and digital collaboration symbols. The imagery conveys technology-enhanced, engaging, and student-centered learning.

What does "Powerful Learning" mean to you?

Depends on how much of a purist you are and your feelings on remakes. I don't have the original to compare it to but I liked the remake. It was brooding and spooky. It devolved into the gore and chaos a bit later on and I def couldn't have handled that all the way through lol. My verdict: Yes

I’ve actually only seen the Suspiria remake with Dakota Johnson. Did you watch the original?

That’s it!

HP Lovecraft. Nice. Looks ridiculous 🤣 did I already ask you about suspiria? Not body horror but absolute gore…there’s a name for it but I forget what it’s called. It’s Dario argento genre I believe

What’s a complicated concept you’ve seen (or would love to see) explained through a game?

Has any game helped you understand something tough?

Share your thoughts and examples! #LevelUpEDU #gamesineducation

Ya it still feels surreal and I’m actually formatting the paper right this moment for the university upload system, so not quite done 😅going through a formatting wizard when I thought I was gonna get to play video games all night 😅

Thank youuu! I’m still in shock post dissertation and had to get off all my socials for awhile 😅I’m excited to keep studying and sharing about playful professional learning!

A well-organized library of board games on black bookshelves in a brightly lit room. Game titles include Carcassonne, Power Grid, Galaxy Trucker, Pandemic, and more. The floor is carpeted, and the space resembles a community or library game room.

📚 Happy National Library Week!

Have you checked out games at your local library? What's your experience been? How could this increase access for students?

Stay safe! I also like your plan, I'd love to do this as well and I don't have tornado threats currently.
