Gamification: How Clash of Clans changed my class - Ditch That Textbook. My 5-year-old son loves the game Clash of Clans.
If you’ve never played this online multiplayer game, the premise is this: You create an army of warriors and a village for them to live in. Then you find armies of other users of the game and you do battle against them. You earn gold and elixir to create more things in your village and more troops. There are many reasons for its wild success, which has made it one of the most popular games for iOS and Android and earns the company $2.4 million every day (yes, every DAY). One reason: you get to build your village how you want. But you can’t do everything all at once.
For a time, several of my students were excited about this game, too. One day, it hit me: I could leverage Clash of Clans’s success in my classroom. How to Find Games for Classroom Learning. A decade ago, iCivics, which now has about 20 free games on its platform, became my gateway to game-based learning.
When I taught social studies to middle school kids, I observed their engagement with content that might otherwise be boring to 12- and 13-year-olds. For instance, to help students learn about the Bill of Rights, I had them play Do I Have a Right? , a game where players learn experientially by running a civil rights law firm. That early experience showed me the power of games as a tool for boosting engagement, but I’d like to suggest a paradigm change on why we need to teach with games, beyond meeting kids where they are. After all, we didn’t toss out books when television came along, and we still teach using novels even though there are film adaptations—new technologies don’t totally displace old ones. Games as a Storytelling Medium Games are an increasing part of the overall media landscape, just as comics and graphic novels first were years ago.

The breakthrough happened after the student took the Bartle's Gamer Profile Quiz and we found out that he was a "killer.
" Off-the-charts killer, but achievement meant nothing to this student. Just like grades. No, we haven't identified the next school shooter, and I sure wish that Bartle hadn't named one of the four gamer profiles "killer" -- but nonetheless, this student identified with this profile. Jane McGonigal mentioned it in her Gaming Can Make a Better World TED Talk when she discussed an epic meaning. My so-called "killer" student (and we really should rename this when applying it to education!)
