We are pleased to invite you to submit a proposal for the* 2nd
Annual Playful Learning Summit* at OhioUniversity, in beautiful Athens, OH
on Friday, May, 8th, 2015.
​Share
 your expertise in using playfullearning strategies, resources, and
pedagogy for teaching and learning.

The Playful Learning Summit brings together creativity, play, and
​ ​
research
​ ​
for educators, designers and scholars exploring playful approaches to
teaching and learning across contexts. In our first year we welcomed
leading researchers, K12 teachers, park and museum curators, publishers,
librarians, game designers, and some guy named Eugene. Join us this year as
we continue the conversation, share tested ideas, and generally mingle.

​​Inside the box?

The Playful Learning Summit seeks to connect educators who share a passion
for engaging andplayful classroom practices. This year we are focusing on
what happens 'inside the box' of learningplayfully. As we design, research,
and teach we are continually looking for meaningful feedback,
understanding, and user experiences. There are many ways to seek this out.
Together, we are asking questions that will bring us closer: How do I know
students are learning? What do we look for? What helps us to measure the
effectiveness, appropriateness, and potency of our playful learning spaces?
