MAD-teacher of the Month
Bowling Green State University’s Mark Stevens has been a champion of MAD-learn’s value to students at the post-secondary level. Now in his 16th year as an instructor at BGSU, Mark is a graduate of the Classroom Technology and Career and Technical Education programs at Bowling Green State University. The focus of his graduate studies was educational game design as reflected in thesis research on the DEVELOPMENT OF AN EDUCATIONAL ROLE-PLAYING GAME FOR THE ACQUISITION OF OHIO FOURTH-GRADE MATHEMATICS STANDARDS. He met his goal to contribute to the body of knowledge in the fields of educational game design and instructional virtual worlds.
For three years, he has also led his graduate students in the University’s education program that includes understanding and building social media outlets to better communicate and engage with students. He sees MAD-learn as the perfect vehicle to advance these goals.
