The History of PLAYDATE


PLAYDATE stands for People Learning and Asking Y: Digital Age Teacher Exploration. After attending a conference, Jennie Magiera (@msMagiera), Sue Gorman (@SJgorman), and Autumn Laidler (@mslaidler) decided that they needed time and space to explore the tools and ideas that come out of typical conferences. Thus, PLAYDATE was born. You can read the full story on Jennie Magiera's website.
