Michael Gove speaks to the Royal Society - The Department for Education
I am, therefore, in all too many ways, poorly equipped to address an audience of the nation’s most distinguished mathematicians and scientists. But the truth, as I suspect everyone in this room knows, is that history is driven, above all, by mathematics and the power it gives us to understand, predict and control the world. The emergence of the first, truly great, Western civilization, in the scattered city states of Ancient Greece, was intimately connected with the first systematic thinking about reason, logic and number.

I think Richard Bartle's right here and it's a key reason why gamification using badges/achievements is a terrible idea on its own: "Achievers like to achieve. They like to think they are better players than other players. Achievements tell them this. They look at their own achievements, look at the achievements of others, and feel like they've achieved something if their own are better. It doesn't matter how the achievements are manifest — levels, points, gear, money, army size — so long as there's some way they know they're better than someone else."Quest Atlantis (QA) is a 3D multiuser, computer graphics learning environment that utilizes a narrative programming toolkit to immerse children, ages 9–15, in meaningful inquiry tasks (see QuestAtlantis.Org ). Quest Atlantis combines strategies used in the commercial gaming environment with lessons from educational research on learning and motivation. The project is unique in its goals to combine the best aspects of learning, playing, and helping, as a means to motivate and engage students.
