Hello Everyone,
There was a thread posted last week or the week before asking about using the Reacting to the Past pedagogy for online courses. First, if you want to learn more about RTTP and view the game library, visit the consortium website here: http://reactingconsortiumlibrary.org/
AJS-niks! The time has come to submit pedagogy (among other) proposals. There's a wonderful brainstorm list going in a Google Doc here; perhaps something on it inspires you? I'd like to mention specifically some of the great suggestions:

The Fall 2020 issue of AJS Perspectives: The Magazine of the Association for Jewish Studies is called The Unfinished Issue.

In recent years, the humanities and social sciences have witnessed a fast-growing presence of pedagogical practices with moving images across a wide range of fields. Along with the ever-changing film studies curriculum, films have been used in diverse ways to, among other purposes, increase learning motivation and engagement; provide cognitive facilities for theoretical concepts; present complex and subtle information as analytical materials; and simulate an experience with unfamiliar, underrepresented, or difficult-to-reach subjects.
Hi all,
The 2020 International Association for Intelligence Education (IAFIE)/IAFIE Europe Chapter joint conference has been moved to Pordenone, Italy, and will retain the established dates (June 25 to 27). Further information, including submission guidance and an extended deadline, can be found here: https://www.iafie.org/events/EventDetails.aspx?id=1341093.
Thanks all,
Mike
