It’s Friday and it’s still winter so that means we’re still cold and Punxsutawney Phil is still prevailing. Well, unless you’re in North Dakota like our executive team was this week – where everyone is talking about the “heatwave” in the 40s. Either way, our field trips continue! We started last Friday […]

It’s February and Punxsutawney Phil announced that winter will be long this year.

Given that fantastic news, we decided to […]

It’s a new year so it’s time to clarify some things you may have been confused about throughout 2016. At 7 Generation Games, we love teaching and explaining all these terms that are out there in the ed tech and game world. We’ve talked about blended learning and flipped learning. We’ve […]

It’s the last week of 2016 and the whole year might seem like a blur (and if it doesn’t you might be hoping it becomes one), but imagine how blurry all the historical information you’ve learned in your lifetime is! However, history is not always in the past as the […]

The holidays are coming and you’re probably already stressed out about your Christmas list- family you like, family you dislike, friends, coworkers, teachers, etc. Then, once you buy everything you have to wrap it! UGH! That’s the worst part, especially if the gift is oddly shaped. Wouldn’t it be nice […]
