I make educational games and the tools to make them. Also, teach statistics, epidemiology and, occasionally game design. First American to win the world judo championships. Yes, I’m multi-talented.

We had a couple of private individuals offer to donate $50, up to $4,000 for every game created with 7 Gen Blocks. Of course, we said yes. We'll tell you more about it at our webinar on July 15. Of course, we are providing the blocks licenses and all the support forms.gle/k32TtGrZ6T5Z...
Happy Fourth of July. To celebrate, here is a game built with blocks - 7generationgames.com/can_you_vote/ An app to teach about the historical barriers to voting for African-Americans and encourage people to vote.
We're doing a competition for best game made with 7 Gen Blocks. First prize is $500. You can sign up for the webinar July 15 to learn how to use blocks and more about the competition. forms.gle/YZb2tXccEPAS...
There may be cooler things than seeing what games people are making with our 7 Gen Blocks Game Builder, but I can't think of any right now.
Every now and then, I get what I want from an AI (in this case, Gemini) on the first prompt and am surprised it worked. Here is an image I needed to teach about negative numbers #middleschoolmath
I don't care how great of a teacher you are or what you teach, there are days you think it will be a miracle if anyone learns anything. Here is what worked for me . www.7generationgames.com/how-learning...
We spent 10 years studying how kids play educational games, when they quit - because no one learns from games they don't play. Then we made a game builder with all that knowledge built in. Learn more & get the demo for free June 9th - forms.gle/F4X967XMqzug...
Why use 7Gen Blocks? Well, I made agame in an afternoon for my granddaughter when she was sick, and it really cheered her up. If there is someone you'd like to make an educational game, sign up for our webinar on May 27th get the webinar &demo game builder at no cost. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Are you a weirdo? We totally want you. Anyone using software will do weird things from time to time. We're doing two webinars and giving away our no code game builder to anyone who attends because we want to catch all those strange things people do to cause bugs. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
I'll be at the Minnesota Association for Bilingual Education meeting in Forest Lake tomorrow in Forest Lake, MN speaking on "Using games to teach math to English language learners" minnabe.org
Absolutely by far the number one request we get at 7 Generation Games is for games for lower levels of mathematics, "Couldn't you do something with addition or subtraction?" The Powwow Stands game needs to be a little smoother, but I'm working on it sandbox.7generationgames.com/powwow_stands/
Ways Growing Math can help with summer school if you were crazy enough to agree to teach this summer. (We no longer pay stipends for professional development, but everything on the site is still free to play online or download) www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0ID...
Playing Aztech: The story begins , in Spanish to improve my own language skills and realizing we don’t give enough respect to students who need to do math problems in a second language, especially word problems.

My day job, making educational games. This is just a demo made with our new platform to make games. It will make it super easy for anyone to make a game without coding. We are using it in house now and it will be available in April to the public. sandbox.7generationgames.com/axolotl_adve...
Update 7 Gen Blocks released at 11:59 last night and <24 hours later here is the first educational game made with it - Axolotl Adventure - a bell ringer for environmental science - 7generationgames.com/axolotl-adve...
More games being built with blocks every week. I can't keep up with them all . 7genblocks.com/built-with-b...
Free cheeseburgers. No, actually it's a free book of our family texts, The Family Textbook. I give a lot to charity, including this week when I am inundated with requests. I'm sure you are all, too, so I thought I would give everyone here that follows me a free book. drive.google.com/file/d/1vVpl...
I had 15K followers on the site-known-as-twitter and less than 300 here. Don't know how to get out information on what 7 Generation Games is doing and build up the same following. Here are 2 lessons from teachers in our summer workshop + 2 educational games www.7generationgames.com/two-new-educ...
The number one request we get from teachers is to make a game for younger children. So far, the lowest level of math we cover is multiplication, in Making Camp Ojibwe & Making Camp Premium. Doing a game now, Powwow Stands, to practice addition.
Woohoo - 7 Generation Games won the Latinx EdTech Summit for K12 applications for our 7 Gen Blocks
How awesome are 7 Gen Blocks? Monday: Workshop with teachers. Wednesday & Thursday, I made the game they wanted, squeezed between meetings, answering emails and completing an analysis for a client. sandbox.7generationgames.com/bell_ringers/
I'll be at Avance in San Diego pitching 7 Generation Games on September 19 during their event for Latinx in Ed Tech. LMK if you are there and want to meet up.
What can you do with 7 Gen Blocks? It is so fast and easy that you can make a game for an audience of one, in this case, my granddaughter who was home sick with the flu - 7generationgames.com/glorias_week...
Reading game ideas from the teachers we met with at Sitting Bull College last week and these are so cool. I cannot wait to make these games!
