6 Trümpfe: Wie du die Interaktivität von Onlineworkshops so steigerst, dass die Teilnehmer noch lange davon schwärmen

October 24, 2022
Es war ein langer Weg bis zu dieser Rezension: „Durch die Interaktivität bin ich nicht nur Teilnehmerin, sondern wirklich Lernende. Kein passiver Konsum – wir haben uns das neue Wissen erarbeitet.

Minecraft Scrum - 3 Years of Teaching and Learning

October 11, 2022
Here are my observations made after teaching Scrum using Minecraft Education for approximately 3 years.
