Gamification
This year I will be gamifying certain aspects of my classroom instruction. Students will be randomly assigned to guild groups on the first day of school. They will be working with these groups for the entire first quarter. Grading will continue as normal, but students will be offered side quests to gain XP points to conquer the world. These side quests will help students develop the knowledge and skill necessary to help them achieve an A in my class. Students will not be allowed to work on side quests unless they have completed their other course work.
If you would like to know more about gamification please read Michael Matera's Explore Like a Pirate. It is the inspiration for my new approach to student motivation.
