I can't imagine having the engagement and interaction in my classroom as some of the games in the world, it really is impressive. I definitely see the potential and possibilities of gamification in the classroom - a huge thanks to you for giving me some of this insight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396253539671679685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318319769137953939.post-3025536168752218392016-07-21T20:23:18.837+09:302016-07-21T20:23:18.837+09:30Love it!

So much to learn from how the games are developed to entice an audience. Glad you could step back and observe some interactions instead of just shrugging it off and mindless gaming as most "non gamers" would :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874211760997342708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318319769137953939.post-42970191688806004792016-07-21T16:35:35.029+09:302016-07-21T16:35:35.029+09:30Yea it is a hat that never comes off, that is for ...Yea it is a hat that never comes off, that is for sure! Yes, I agree! We are always discussing the importance of including things in the classroom our students are interested in but this seems to be a big gap in education. Look forward to discussing possible lesson/activity ideas in the future :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396253539671679685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4318319769137953939.post-44914094354901453832016-07-21T16:13:15.760+09:302016-07-21T16:13:15.760+09:30What a great observation Georgia, it's funny h...What a great observation Georgia, it's funny how we wear our teaching hats with us wherever we go! I agree that some research would need to be done in order to bring gaming into the classroom (I'm trying to work out how to do this too) but it is wonderful that children can develop such skills through a hobby.Danni Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12705580027546152790noreply@blogger.com
