3 Edtech Tools You Can Use To Gamify Your Classroom

Design Your Class Like A Video Game How Video Games Have Mastered Learning Engagement Terry Heick Agreeing on how to best establish what a learner understands isn’t simple — if for no other reason than understanding isn’t simple. Gamification and game-based learning (which are different, by the way: the former uses encouragement mechanics to promote engagement, while the latter uses video-games as core sources of learning material or cognitive action) is one response. By embedding diverse achievements into activities and assessments, learning progress can be refracted infinitely. But video games have even more to offer formal learning systems. To be able to do this before moving on to that. Stifling the Fun Hated tropes in video game mechanics include “training” sessions, where players must prove to the video game that they can perform a basic function before moving on. Not much different than school, then. Most game designers have learned, however. Climb a mountain or slay a robot enemy? Takeaways for Learning 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Des boitiers de vote pour évaluer - Usages du numérique éducatif Sébastien Vivier1 utilise dans certaines séquences un tableau blanc interactif et des boitiers de vote. Ce matériel lui permet d’évaluer en début, en cours et/ou en fin de séance ce qui a été mémorisé et compris. Ces tests dynamisent le cours : les réponses apportées à un problème sont observées et commentées par les élèves avant de l’être par le professeur. Ils apportent à l’enseignant des informations qui l’aident à adapter sa pédagogie aux besoins, et lui permettent d’apporter de l’aide ou de la remédiation (évaluation formative). Il peut réagir à bon escient, en prenant en compte le pourcentage d’élèves qui n’ont pas réussi le test. Le fait d’afficher ou pas les réponses individuelles sur le tableau blanc interactif dépend de la méthode pédagogique et de l’ambiance de la classe : dans un climat propice à la collaboration l’affichage des erreurs facilite la co-formation. Dans l’exemple détaillé ci-dessous, le professeur pose 14 questions pendant la séance. Pour en savoir plus :

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. My ninth grade students have partnered on an epic quest with grad students at the University of Alaska Southeast and members of the Gamifi-ED OOC to study serious games, create an encyclopedia of serious games, and ultimately to create their own serious game in Minecraft. 1. Game mechanics are part of game theory. 2. As we saw with my "killer" student, there are four game-player types using this psychological evaluation. 3. Sixth grade teacher Michael Matera wowed me and other members of the OOC as he shared how he has completely gamified his sixth grade classroom. 4. 5. 6.
