Gamification
I first heard about this idea from a post on the Team Based Learning listserv. There was a link to a video that really got me started thinking about these ideas for education. Below are some resources that I have found useful.
- Definition - from Wikipedia - actually a pretty good source for this topic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamification. The term is used more than just in education and this article gives a little background to the term in its general use.
- TED-ED lesson I made from my students to do in Ed Tech. It includes the first video I watched that talked about the use of gamification in Education. http://ed.ted.com/on/eqbVJpRU#final
- Course Syllabus for my class that uses Gamification
