    Gamification is the use of game design techniques and mechanics to solve problems and engage audiences. Typically gamification applies to non-game applications and processes (also known as "funware"), in order to encourage people to adopt them. Gamification works by making technology more engaging, by encouraging users to engage in desired behaviors, by showing a path to mastery and autonomy, and by taking advantage of humans' psychological predisposition to engage in gaming. (definded by wikipedia). This is a blog that introduces how use gamification in education and business. It also provides some sources and tools.

    TED is one of the best places to go to hear and see the future of education and technology. The videos featured on TED range in theme, from technology, to social issues. This is a great resource to see what some of the best and brightest have to say about our future.

    TED talks are insightful and really well presented. They often give unique and interesting perspectives on a range of subjects. I could see myself as a secondary social studies teacher using them to help student understand the idea of looking at issues from a variety of perspectives. They would be good for content knowledge, especially for psychology, economics, or sociology.

    I have watched a video clip from this site in a college level course. As a college instructor, there would be many technology related videos that I could use in the classroom as a springboard for discussions. It also would be interesting for students.

    Thanks for sharing this blog, Alex. It's nice to see technology really being integrated into all content areas. It sometimes is difficult to bring the technology efficiently into an English classroom, as I'm sure you know! This teacher proves that it is possible!
