    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.

    Great Resource for math classes. This has interactive games for kids to play, and it also has videos for them to watch. It puts a new twist on some common math concepts. Great lesson ideas available for math teachers.

    I definitely agree that this resource can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. I LOVE math, and enjoyed looking through this website. I liked how it included a teachers corner that gives teachers many ideas and tips on how to use the videos and games in a math lesson/unit. This resource is geared towards both students and teachers; the games and videos are mainly for students benefit, but the teachers corner is also a great resource for teachers. There are many other great websites that include interactive games and videos for teachers to use with their students (as well for students to practice on their own at home). Some examples are: http://illuminations.nctm.org/, http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html, and http://gregtangmath.com/.

    Chore Wars, a game to use with household chores. Could this be translated over to use in education, with homework?

    This is a very good website for kids to go too! I know the girls I babysat this past summer loved going on here and playing the different games that went along with their favorite shows on tv.

    This looks like a great resource for anyone in education, teaching or learning. It is well organized and provides links to a lot of useful free tools. I wish I had this stuff when I was growing up.

    This looks like a great resource for elementary teachers, providing so many links in one place. It is like an annotated bibliography, presenting various resources for teachers to use, making it easy for us to navigate. Though I plan to teach in secondary education, some of these categories could still be used with high schoolers in my English classroom, especially Google and the Research & Reference resources. I think that teachers in elementary education will find this resource very useful, and I could even show it so some of my high school students so that they would have different things to explore if they were interested. I found a similar website that compiles resources from around the web, focusing on Language Arts education: http://www.internet4classrooms.com/lang_mid.htm. Here, there are citation guides, research help, online literature links, and many other great activities for the LA classroom.

    This looks like a great resource to keep on hand for teachers! I feel like it should be used mostly by teachers and they should definitely take advantage of it. Too often do teachers use the same routine every day and use stuff out of books! Why not go on the computer and research things that can spice up your classroom.

    This is a great resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to enhance learning. It has a WIDE variety of useful tools that can make learning more fun and engaging. I would recommend that the teacher scans through these options prior to opening them up to students. The teacher could select a few good ones and show them to the students to use during class or at home. I do no have any bookmarks similar to this one, but I am sure there are a lot out there that could be just as helpful. Thanks for sharing the great resource!

    This website is organized into three parts: educators, families, and students. The Educator part gives teachers many great teaching materials, online resources, lesson plans, field trip ideas and professional development resources. The Families part gives tipes and suggestions for families planning on visiting the Smithsonian Museum in Washington D.C. The Students part gives students links to discover the museum as well as various links and resources to explore different subjects from school. The resources include websites, games, and activities.

    I liked how you could search for topics by state standards and grade level besides subject. This would be a good resources for both kids and teachers. The separate kids section is also a good exploratory site in that they can discover things on their own.

    This is for those that would like to see more gaming in education. This tool allows you to create your own levels. These levels could be designed to fit a lesson in your class, or even have students create them. There does seem to be some cost in the store.

    Great resource Min! The gamification of education is a very hot issue right now, and I think that providing teachers with resources to help them understand what the potential of gaming in education might be, will be very beneficial to our teachers, and our students. I might use this wiki in my final paper research! :D

    Thanks for sharing this wiki Hailey. I really enjoyed the information and links about 21st century learning that were available. The site is easy to use and provides information that is both relevant and meaningful to instructional technology. With so much out there it's nice to find both attributes.

    I agree that is Wiki is a great resource that can be used efficiently in my own future classroom. The Wiki contains a lot of great information for teachers to use in their classrooms to "move forward" and incorporate technology and 21st century skills into their classrooms. The site has easy to navigate categories and gives meaningful, relevant, and constructive uses for 21st century (student) skills.

    There are a lot of great links and information in this resource. The Wiki is beneficial for classrooms who want to learn about how to integrate some of these activities into their daily schedule. For example, the Wiki provides resources for Wikis, Podcasts, gaming, digital storytelling, and much more.

    Great resource for lessons and classroom activities for Social StudiesClasses.This one site is connected to many other history themed educational sites. While planning my first lesson ever, this site was my go to. It helped with activity ideas, lecture, and powerpoints. Although I may have not used everything it gave me great ideas to build on.
