In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Sarah Wrightsman chat with artist and educator, Joe Acone! We invited Joe on the podcast to talk about gamified teaching. A self-described nerd, Joe pulls from role playing games, like Dungeons and Dragons, and applies those concepts in the classroom!Today, Joe works alongside Creative Guts’ Vice Chair, Becky Barsi, at The Derryfield School in Manchester, NH. In the past, Joe has taught at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, Framingham State University, and LaSalle College. In addition to his full time job at the Derryfield School, he’s also teaching a course on world building at Manchester Community College.In this episode, we’ll also talk a bit about how Joe balances his passion and creativity in the classroom with his own art. As an artist, Joe works primarily in oil and digital, with a bit of illustration, too. He’s not a writer, but he’s also sort of a writer!Check out Joe at www.artstation.com/joeacone and on Instagram at www.instagram.com/joeacone.Listen to this episode wherever you listen to podcasts or on our website www.CreativeGutsPodcast.com.
