Q6: Play can provide invitations to reimagine unjust systems and realities. How could play be leveraged as a practice of speculation toward more just social futures? #literacies
Q5: Play is not always liberatory – in fact, many games and playful traditions reify injustice and colonizing logics. How might educators create playful learning environments that do not reproduce harm (e.g., students being “made fun” of)? #literacies
Q4: Play is often collaborative, but the individualist structures of schooling sometimes undermine opportunities for thinking in community. To what extent does your teaching context provide invitations to compose and think collaboratively? #literacies
Q3: Play can invite participants to inhabit and/or embody the identities of characters. Through perspective-taking we can understand how others encounter real and imagined worlds. How does – or could – your teaching and research engage in playful, critical identity work? #literacies
Q2: Playful and game-based spaces are often informed by rules and norms. Though rules can be constraining, they can also create new opportunities for innovation and interaction. What are the “rules of composing” or “rules of interaction” that shape your teaching context? #literacies
Q1: How have you made space for play in your personal or professional life lately? #literacies
Tomorrow’s #literacies chat Play and Interaction in Literacy Learning will take place on 6/30 at 8-9:00pm EST/ 6:00-7:00pm PST!. Join us!
