Games based learning is supposed to be the next big thing. So when I revamped a unit of work for Year 10 based on designing scientific investigations, I decided to "gamify" the unit of work.
I was inspired by a YouTube video by Seth Priebatsch on gamification, where elements of gaming can be added to education. After also seeing presentations by Dean Groom and Ben Jones I have come up with my first "gamified" set of learning experiences.
"This might appear as tools that are not for games. That's because you're not thinking hard enough about games based learning. All of these things can be used in GBL - it's all a matter of perspective and design."
