Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> First, we learn a little bit about the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_195_S">Ferrari 195 S</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> This week we welcome back Ric White from the <a href="http://oneboardfamily.com/">One Board Family</a>.<br> <br> <br> <br> Thanks to our sponsor: Donnie from First Move Financial tells us why Andrew is wrong about <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/welcome-to-game/">Welcome To</a>… and invites you to set up a chat by going to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers" target="_blank">FirstMoveFinancial.com/familygamers</a> today.<br> <br> <br> <br> What We’ve Been Playing<br> <br> <br> <br> Rallyman GT on <a href="https://boardgamearena.com/">Board Game Arena</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Smash Up from AEG<br> <br> <br> <br> Seasons of Rice from Button Shy<br> <br> <br> <br> Cover Your Kingdom from Grandpa Beck’s Games<br> <br> <br> <br> Codenames Duet from Czech Games<br> <br> <br> <br> Bees: The Secret Kingdom from Van Ryder Games and Awaken Realms Lite<br> <br> <br> <br> Tang Garden from Thundergryph Games (and will be distributed by Lucky Duck Games)<br> <br> <br> <br> With the last two games, we wonder if the board gaming community is ready for games that are to be enjoyed “both as a game and a piece of art.”<br> <br> <br> <br> Our Conversation with Ric<br> <br> <br> <br> We asked Ric: What’s it like being a teacher during pandemic/lockdown?<br> <br> <br> <br> Ric and his fellow teachers got a little bit of warning during their spring vacation. We talk about how kids are in very different places right now (attention, technical difficulties, learning challenges, etc.)<br> <br> <br> <br> Even online schooling techniques that existed before this lockdown have a limited application for the situation we’re in now.<br> <br> <br> <br> Teachers are being stretched in many ways – some good, but all of them very challenging.<br> <br> <br> <br> Don’t think next year is going to look like “a normal school year”. At the highschool level, AP classes, placement exams, etc all are looking very different. Elementary teachers will be “like producing a TV show” to keep kids’ attention.<br> <br> <br> <br> Find Ric &amp; One Board Family Online:<br> <br> <br> <br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oneboardfamily">@oneboardfamily</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/oneboardfamily">@oneboardfamily</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oneboardfamily">@oneboardfamily</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/oneboardfamily">@oneboardfamily</a>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/oneboardfamily">@oneboardfamily</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Don’t forget to check out the <a href="http://oneboardfamily.com/one-board-podcast/">One Board Podcast</a> &amp; Will It Game!<br> <br> <br> <br> Find Us Online:<br> <br> <br> <br> Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/familygamersaa">@familygamersaa</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/familygamersaa/">thefamilygamers.com/community</a>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/familygamersAA">@familygamersaa</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/familygamersaa/">@familygamersaa</a><br> <br> <br> <br> Or, for the most direct method, email us! andrew@thefamilygamers.com and anitra@thefamilygamers.com.<br> <br> <br> <br> PLEASE don’t forget to subscribe to the show, tell your friends about the show, and leave us a review at <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-family-gamers-podcast/id1031290391">Apple Podcast</a> or whatever your podcast subscription source is.
