Members of the CUNY Games Network were delighted to participate in the recent Bronx EdTech Showcase. This daylong conference on May 9 sponsored by three CUNY colleges — Bronx Community College, Hostos Community College, and Lehman College — featured presentations and discussions on innovations in educational technology from across the university. Check out Joe Bisz and Maura Smale, with Hostos Community College faculty member Rees Shad, in a panel discussion on game-based learning at the Showcase. Watch the livestream on the Showcase website or on YouTube. Many thanks to the organizers for inviting us!
