What do popular video role play games and frequent flyer miles have in common?
Negative stereotypes of video games are beaten back in this exploration of gaming in the middle school learning milieu, and as tool #1 for leveling up (spoiler: the underlings and their overlord win).
As a University of Wisconsin-Stout alumnus (Technology Education with a concentration in Network Communications, and a minor in speech communication with an emphasis in theatre), Dan Zabrowski takes great pride in his education, as well as great interest in the education of others. He also has a keen interest in humanity’s relationship with technology. “This is how I came to be a middle school technology education teacher. I love everything about it. The freedom to explore new areas of study combined with the excitable age of the students makes for a career that allows for the exploration of human, educational and technological futures”. He is currently completing a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership at Viterbo University. Outside of work, Zabrowski enjoys everything from camping and video games to performing on the stage, screen and street. “I’m also an amateur juggler and bullwhip performer, as well as an accomplished fire breather and mead brewer”.
