Boost for grassroots education. Kristen A.
Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer Posted: Monday, August 17, 2015, 1:07 AM Five years ago, EdCamp was a seed of an idea, 10 Philadelphia-area educators in a room attempting to make traditional teacher training more meaningful and democratic. On Monday, the teachers' work - which has already been hailed as an international professional learning phenomenon - takes the spotlight. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is scheduled to announce a $2 million grant to the EdCamp Foundation. EdCamp specializes in "unconferences" - training sessions where participants dream up the discussion topics, attend only the sessions they're interested in, and serve as the experts they are, leading sessions in their area of interest.

Video games are the dominant entertainment form of modern times because they powerfully motivate behavior. Game mechanics can be applied outside the immersive environments of games themselves, to create engaging experiences as well as assign rewards and recognition. Over the past few years, gamification adoption has skyrocketed. Companies use game thinking for employee motivation in human resources, team building, productivity enhancement, training, health and wellness, sustainability, and innovation. Game thinking means more than dropping in badges and leaderboards to make an activity fun or addicting.
