Steven Isaacs: Engaging Student Gamers

In this episode of the Game to Grow podcast, NASEF Commissioner Mark Deppe interviewed teacher and Minefaire producer Steven Isaacs. As a long-time gamer himself, Steven first began using technology to personalize learning for his students. Today, Steven continues teaching while also producing Minecraft community events and experiences with Minefaire. Steven describes his work with his middle school students and the support he is giving to local high school students. His middle school gaming club began as a casual community that is beginning to include more competitive interests. This episode is a great listen for those looking to learn more about the opportunity and benefits of using students’ passion for games in the classroom spaces!
