Here are some things I mentioned:
Do you really think theory and research is having an effect on classrooms and society? That teachers are using games? Really?

Ludic Language Pedagogy is more diverse, inclusive, practical and supportive than **** and **** and ****.
Oh, wow. This happened to fall off a truck. Pick it up and give it a nice home.

A really deep dive teaching and research dump truck about teaching with games. Tons of theory, research, teaching data and advice and things for you to play with.

Interested in gamification? Really? Hmm... James York has two pills for you to choose from.

I believe that
Knowledge creation and sharing needs to begin and end with open communication in a community of people that value, respect, support and assist each other.
The best peer review happens openly. I want to understand who the author is and what they are trying to do in a paper. I want to be able to ask questions and discuss ideas. In open peer review, both author and reviewer can learn more. I don't want to hide behind a wall.
Teaching and research has value.
Schools cannot fix society. But I can play a part in helping people in society improve. There should be more and open connections between teachers, researchers, students and communities.
If I want my research to influence practice, then I need to conduct and disseminate research in a way that practioners can find and utilize.
So?
I no longer write, edit, review or advise on projects that editors and authors and communities have not meaningfully communicated or collaborated regarding.
I will review papers, but only openly. If you have a paper/project/idea that you would like my feedback on, email me or contact me on Slack and let's be in direct contact about it. Let's use a paper as an opportunity for both of us to learn.
I no longer collaborate with journals or conferences that use blind peer review or who do not actively support a community of scholars, authors and readers/audiences.
I no longer work on projects that hype technology over pedagogy. Digital games are just one type of play and one type of literacy that can be developed in the classroom. https://llpjournal.org/2020/07/22/dehaan-gblt-vaporware-part-two.html
I will not contribute to people’s drive to get ahead in their own academic games and in doing so further contributing to breaking scholarship, teaching and learning, and society.
I reject the superficial communication, ingenuous networking, political maneuvering, personal favors, and empty volunteerism that academia and typical academic publishing is built on.
We can all do better.
I started an open journal and community with Dr. James York and other passionate teachers and researchers. We take education, teaching, communities, and research very seriously.
Feel free to join us at https://llpjournal.org/ (our Slack/Discord links are there).
If you introduce and discuss your project there and
call for contributors
call for reviewers/admin/collaborators
I would be happy to join/mentor some other members of the LLP community in working on your project in a collaborative, open review format.
I hope you’ll also re-create your academic game to be more fair to everyone involved.
If you need help, I and others at LLP can help you.
And of course I am very willing to continue discussing all of this.

Bad monkey trying to be a better monkey in a bad world
My main teaching/research project is the "Game Terakoya" project.
It purposefully connects games with academic and participatory project work using teaching approaches such as the Pedagogy of Multiliteracies and Experiential Learning.
Project pages:
- my graduation thesis 2-year seminar (2018 and 2019 and 2020 group pages)
- a 15-week class sequence: google document syllabus
- a 4-week introductory module: google document syllabus
Social media:
The Twitter hashtag #gameterakoya aggregates work that I and my students share related to the project

C) Strategic Interactions and Experiential Learning
These research projects combine technologies (video cameras and wikis), unique roleplays (DiPietro's Strategic Interactions) and repeated cycles of planning, doing, reflecting and discussing (Dewey's, Lewin's, Kolb's and Argyris and Schon's experiential learning models) to develop students' academic and professional second language skills.

B) Seminar
B) Seminar
In my seminar, 3rd year, 4th year and Masters level students explore games and society (e.g., education, business, art, language, civics, etc). Students join ongoing Lab projects, work right away on their own and with others, learn and practice research methods, read articles and write short reports weekly, plan and conduct a research project, and write their thesis in English (for submission to a journal for publication). We get together regularly to play and discuss games. More information and the application: https://sites.google.com/site/gamelabshizuoka/about-the-lab/seminar-application
