“GAMIFYING” Your Class: Gaming with a purpose

Gaming with a purpose, Gamification, Edutainment, or Gameful Learning is not a new concept; it is just that in 2019 we have added digital tools and are able to offer it online, via tools that use SBT/AR/VR/VLE. (Simulation-Based Training, Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Virtual Learning Experiences). We all remember playing games in class like basketball review, hangman to learn terms, etc… Well, now we can "level up" and go digital with these.

Example of how HS English teachers have "gamed" their classroom = bit.ly/gameful19
