Gamification

Gamification should most certainly be used in the classroom! Whether or not using them will be motivational or hurtful to students relies solely on the teacher programming them. Educational games should be tailored toward students' varying interests, learning types, and ability levels. I'm not a fan of the leader boards. Students should have access to their own individual progress report, but not others. You can rest assured that my students will experience gamification before graduating from my classroom! I am so excited to learn about these and other ways to engage and motivate my students.
