How to spice your classroom and foster students’ motivation and engagement with gamification.
Videogames are designed to be addicting, drawing people in with their deep attention-grabbing nature: gamification is the diversion of videogames into a educational strategy. They facilitate friendships and team work, develop creative potential and teach players by giving them real consequences for their actions in a playful way.
