So our RE:Design, Case Study and Learning Design Fellows are sharing what they have found so far, through short talks and hands-on playful activities. They\u2019ll talk about what worked, what didn\u2019t, and what they would do differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What\u2019s happening on the day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conference runs fully online from 10am to 4pm. We will open with:<br><br><strong>10:00-11:00<\/strong> Welcome and keynote from Rosie Jones, Director of Student and Library Services at Teesside University. <br><strong>11:00 to 15:30<\/strong>, two sessions running in parallel in every slot, so you can build your own programme from a mix of talks and interactive activities. <br><strong>15:30-16:00<\/strong> We close with shared reflections and a look at what\u2019s next for RE:PLAY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the day, a shared Padlet will be open for meme responses and hot take voting on common playful learning misconceptions and strong views. <br><br>Come with opinions!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Join us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re an educator curious about play, already using playful approaches, or somewhere in between, there\u2019s something for you. You\u2019re welcome to drop in for the sessions that interest you most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please register on Eventbrite which includes a more detailed agenda:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/replay-online-conference-2026-playful-learning-in-practice-tickets-2003651910802?aff=oddtdtcreator\">https:\/\/www.eventbrite.ca\/e\/replay-online-conference-2026-playful-learning-in-practice-tickets-2003651910802?aff=oddtdtcreator<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday 9 December 2026, the RE:PLAY community is coming together for an online conference, and we\u2019d love you to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":61,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_bluesky_dont_syndicate":"","_bluesky_syndication_accounts":"","_bluesky_syndication_text":"","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
