To Gamify Learning or Not? : Learning about Gamification for one Month - 0 views

  •  
    Found this archived CEM event - supposed to be a month of blogging but there are only a few entries - interesting ones though - glad to have background knowledge from Jane McGonagal's TED talks on how gaming can change the world and save a life. Did make me think again about how I wanted to incorporate gaming in my classroom.

    Since elementary school, I knew that grades mattered - a lot. I was a keen student who spent most of my schooling chasing after the highest marks and beating myself up for anything less than an "A". Looking back, I was more concerned with playing the "grading game" than actually learning.

    Grades are just a math game. This is what I told students many years ago. "If you know how to work the numbers, you can get a good grade."

    I have been following Mark Barnes and Starr Sackstein this year, they are doing really amazing things in their classrooms and moving away from grades. They co-moderate a group on Facebook called "Teachers Throwing out Grades" and have a Twitter Chat Monday nights at 7 #TTOG - it is worth checking out!

      This is AMAZING!!
  • Google Drive empowers teachers as they use Google Docs to provide real time feedback. It also helps students engage in discourse via Google Moderator, and provides project participants a platform for brainstorming remotely on Google Hangouts. But Google Drive’s power doesn’t lie solely in its own features. In fact, it is Drive’s integration with third party apps that really empower student collaboration. In this post, we’ll explore 5 creative ways to use integrated apps for group projects.
