Playful Tech in the J-School Classroom

“We don’t do math, but we do play.” This session on technology development and diversity is aimed at journalism school educators. See technology projects from a range of classrooms and hear how educators are working to engage journalism students in developing interactive projects with VR, mobile games and news apps. You’ll learn how to bring a diverse group of students together -- even those who feel like “tech isn’t for them” -- for technical projects specifically curated to their interests.

This session is designed for:

Journalism educators looking to overcome the hurdle of technical documentation and tutorials that can be off-putting for students

Educators looking for inspiration and new ideas in their classrooms or students
J-school leaders wanting to create a more inclusive program for students
