I find it a very sad state of affairs in the UK that this article constitutes a story. It has been widely acknowledged amongst child developmentalists that there is going to be a gulf between the sexes at such an age due to the internal developments taking place.

Great talking points, lots to think about. More from the road as it occurs.

make sure you know what constitutes success.
-
Only use gamification as a learning solution when it makes sense and resonates with learners.
-
Explain why the learners are earning points, who they are trying to save, why they are searching for a treasure. Remember, gamification works well when it is within a context—create a reason why learners should interact with the content you have created.
