With 20+ years experience using games to educate and engage, Joel has travelled the world discovering and sharing the best game-based learning practices.
In 2011 Joel co-founded TeacherGaming LLC and released MinecraftEdu which was acquired in 2015 by Microsoft and became Minecraft: Education Edition. TeacherGaming sold educational versions of Kerbal Space Program, Universe Sandbox, and Cities: Skylines to schools, and also released its own original IP Switch & Glitch for iOS and Android.
Joel has designed and led learning programs for schools, camps, libraries, museums, and corporate partners. He has taught technology and media classes at all K-12 grade levels and provided support and professional development for dozens of schools. Joel is currently teaching at a private school for students with learning differences.
Joel is available to consult with anyone that wants to understand the powerful ways that young learners connect with games. Parents, educators, and game companies alike can harness the enthusiasm kids bring to games in order to maximize learning potential.
