It’s out! Our study on how communicative act can help young children learn science within an MR environment now is available on ijCSCL. Access to the article: link.springer.com/article/10.100…
Only 1 trip left for the summer: the McDonnell Foundation annual meeting next week. And I'm happy to announce that I got accepted to the Visiting Future Faculty Program at SUNY- Buffalo. I will visit Bufafflo for a week in October!
overwhelmed by the amount of support in the room + the appearance of so many folks that this talk would not exist without 😶🌫️ thank you @JDanish @DrSurajUttam @jasmineyma @learnsolidarity @BahHumburg @rya_zach @sjlee143 and so many others
We are excited to share the first paper that features GEM-STEP, exploring how we designed for sequences of embodied activity. edtechbooks.org/jaid_11_4/VMRr…
✅🥳 Passed my dissertation defense!! Feeling very heart-full today 🥰
New article, co-authored with collaborating teachers where we explore the use of multiple-representations! Observing the Unobservable nsta.org/science-and-ch…
Gearing up for some more data collection!! Some sneak peeks of the new GEM-STEP and GEM-SCRIPT!! [ALT: 1st image is an aquatic ecosystem with fish, algae, and the sun, and graphs to help learners see how energy is lost as it flows between them. 2nd image is GEM-SCRIPT code.]
On behalf of the ISLS Communications Committee: Spotlight on Xintian Tu, participant in the 2021 Doctoral Consortium! Learn more about her work on google scholar: scholar.google.com/citations?hl=e…
Just heard from a teacher that they didn’t think of themselves as a science teacher before our project. Now they do, and their students do too!! Also representations are now core to their thinking. Feeling good as a team today!!
Really pushed my ability to “rapidly iterate” 🤯 what started out as a 4-day unit on dinosaurs quickly turned into a hodgepodge of bees, dinos, astronauts, and magical creature-themed activities! What a rush! ✨

The next iteration of STEP, GEM-STEP is shaping up to have a pretty powerful scripting language!! @_moravick has been building games with bees, dinosaurs, and now astronauts for some very excited summer camp attendees!!
HUGE thanks yous are in order! @NitashaMathayas for the platform, encouragement, and expert moderation last night @MollyKelton for the insightful reflections and kind words as discussant @JDanish + RAPT lab for the ongoing support & mentorship despite my half-baked ideas 🙇🏻♀️
It was an absolute privilege to share the first iteration of my framework for inclusive embodied learning space design last night 🙆🏻♀️ While we have a ways to go, the overwhelmingly positive response to my work gives me faith that we are moving in the right direction! #ISLS2022 ✨
We have just created a brand new website, which we plan to keep up to date with some exciting new work around our own modeling environment (GEM-STEP), innovations in AI, and more!! embodiedplay.org
Another work with @AVMaltese . Please check our poster June 8th, 7 PM EST, gather room 1.
It is June 9 th, 8:05 PM EST. The flyer from Whova is JST by default. Also thanks to my co-authors @JDanish @NitashaMathayas @_moravick and Mengxi Zhou

Hot off the press! Our explanatory framework highlights how problem-based learning supports the interpretation of learning analytics from a collaborative game-based learning environment. bera-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
Such a privilege to speak at #QRCA2022 and share how @JillHeinze and I are working to blend the worlds of LS and UX! Thank you @qrca ! Loved sharing the magic of learning & activity theory with you all ✨ See our presentation & additional resources at uxlearningjourneys.weebly.com
