👋 Hello!

I co-edit the Ludic Language Pedagogy journal with Dr. James York.
Learn about how I am transforming lives with the Pedagogy of Multiliteracies.
The Game Terakoya is my flagship literacy project which I have been iterating on for the past decade. Games and other ludic activities are used as the springboard for students to learn deeply about themselves, society, and their place in society.
