What is holding you back from playing? In our experience, lots of professors want to play. But many don’t because they are held back by their fears. During the 2021 Shaping EDU conference, Lisa and I explored the things that hold us back from implmenting all the benefits that play can offer to our teaching. I call those barriers the “fun wall”. Lisa likes to talk about fear and shame. But whatever you call it, you have to get out of the serious mode of thought we are all trained in to start thinking about your teaching in a new way.
