Blogje bij @Mediawijzer ✨️
Lang was er aandacht voor de mogelijke negatieve effecten van games, zoals verslavingsrisico’s en agressie. Docent pedagogische wetenschappen @yoanneke bespreekt nieuwe inzichten op dat gebied. Kan gamen helpen bij de ontwikkeling van sociale vaardigheden?netwerkmediawijsheid.nl/game…

Me and @KenKoontz17 had a great #GEMHsession with Matthew Kreutter from @ConnectedCamps. which inspired me to think about leveraging existing game spaces and platforms that youth already inhabit to create supportive online communities 💡
In #GEMHSession 5 we talked with Matthew Kreutter from @ConnectedCamps about creating online spaces like Minecraft and Discord servers to support grieving youth. You can watch this session and previous sessions on the #GEMHLab Youtube channel! ▶ youtube.com/watch?v=df2EUCnL…
Ik werd benaderd door @socialevraagst om kort iets te vertellen over de link tussen gamen en welzijn. Check it out if you're interested.

Vorige week was ik samen met Dr @EelkeSpaak
te gast bij @RUReflects om te praten over de relatie tussen gamen, cognitie, gedrag en (mentaal) welzijn, Mocht je interesse hebben, de video van deze sessie staat nu online!✨🎮 youtu.be/WfPK71n-c9A
Ran a game of Ten Candles🕯last Saturday and it was AMAZING! Can't stop thinking about it and can't wait to play it again! It's a tragic horror RPG by Cavalry Games (@shiftyginger) you play in a single session by candlelight. If you like RPGs you should definitely try it!
ALT A table with a bowl surrounded by 10 lit candles, 10 dice, index cards and some drinks. Me posing at the table with a creepy grin on my face and my hands doing like a spooky clawing motion.
So thankful to everyone who shared their time and wisdom with us 🤗It was truly magical!✨️ Strengthened my belief in the power of interdisciplinary collaboration and reignited my drive to find ways to better support tech-for-wellbeing projects! 🚀
If you've got time to kill at Utrecht central station this week and you want to relax or have some fun you can try out DEEP @exploreDEEP at the @Nedfilmfestival pop-up booth between Sept 22nd-30th from 12 to 9 PM! Go check it out! 🤩 – at Mook en Middelaar, Nederland
