A1 having fun while learning, overcoming challenges, and cooking shows

A1 My creativity is constantly on fire. Exercise (swim/walk) helps to organize and filter it.
-
A1: anything that draws a following piques my interest/creativity. Reality tv, viral posts, fashion trends, etc.
-
Best inspiration comes from talking to my students about the games their playing. Talking "shop" with them. They have best ideas
-
totally addicted to Cutthroat kitchen....their decade series...oh my geekiness!!!

Advice on where to start with gamification please?

My favorite thing is that no matter what or how creative I want to be gamification always has an outlet for me

Friends & family are a great source of sparks
-
nerds rule! Learning is my happy place
-
-
Started using images as writing sparks last year. Ss had some great stories, both fiction and non-fiction
-
Good Night! Dropping in late...Paulina, Literacy Coach from US, Virgin Islands
-
A2: Play opens up possibilities..freedom in the way things are done or looked at
-
A2: Play allows me to explore without the fear of failure. Makes me feel free to express myself
-
A2: Being slightly competitive, playing a new game makes me want to figure out what I need to do to win, see what's new
-
A2:gamification has unleashed a creative side I had forgotten about.
-
Q2) By defying the norm. With HS stu, it seems dismissed & irrelevant. But quite opposite. HS stu, like all, need creative play
-
A2: Play allow me to throw off the cover of anxiety and fear to do things I might not normally do
-
A2 If it is fun AND challenging you want more
-
A2: Play encourages me to take chances I wouldn't otherwise take.
-
A2 Play awakens the explorer by providing and inspiring POSSIBILITIES real or imagined!
-
A1: painting, gardening, painting old furniture to create something new
-
Funny our JK/TK is saying same thing, not enough play is school anymore
-
A2: play allows me to talk to others, trial amd error, build and use strategy, and release competitive side in a healthy way
-
A2: once I got my footing in gamification I found that I was fearless in trying new ways to add to my game.
-
A2:people of all ages love to pretend. Think of dressing up for Halloween, playing air guitar & getting lost in a movie or book.
-
A2: Playing games helps me lighten up and laugh more.
-
A2 Play allows me to let loose in ways I may not be able to in "Real Life". Like in Manopoly I'll spend tons of money!
-
-
-
Only if not too challenging, 2 hard makes want to stop
-
A2. I connect to all those european explorers who sought after NW passage, they didn't know where, but still were driven 2 succeed
-
A2: play gives you permission to go, big and bold and super fun without apologizing!
-
Andrew from Hollinger Education checking in late for ! // former HS ELA teacher, current college writing prof + ed consultant
-
A2: Play allows me, my classroom, and my lessons to remain nimble and agile. I have been able to change quickly and for the better.
-
you are speaking my language...I don't ever want to shy away from the free feeling of play such as these
-
Great answer! Let's us get out of our "real" selves and get more involved in the game
-
A2. Play permits me to be an "equal" with s's in the process of gaming / learning / having fun. It let's me be me!
-
A1: Sometimes we treat creativity like it is ephemeral and muse-ish. can/should be practiced like a skill.
-
You are all naturals at this Twitter thing! Hard to believe that so many are new to this! So proud!
-
-
How are you all doing? Ready for Q3? I'll post in just a few minutes!
-
A1: Also, I like reading, walking, doodling to help me see if I can find connections that weren't immediately obvious
-
My goodness...for a new chat...holy wow the insight and reflection on the awesomeness of play!!
-
-
A2: creativity allows us "to see the world not as it is, but as it could be" -- *THAT* awakens the explorer in me.
-
-
-
A2 I agree with others, play allows me to do things I wouldn't normally do and I can be free without fear of making a mistake
-
A3: Fond memories of playing Cribbage with my dad. Also, loved playing an old board game called Bazaar with my siblings.
-
A3: I was always inspired by a really well made play structure. I could make it into anything and be anyone!
-
A3: Used to walk home through a small wooded area singing @ top of lungs. Never happen now, but try to get some singing in the car
-
safe risks. Super important for Ss
-
A3: I am a daydreamer...my 3rd grade teacher put paper over the window to stop me...um...it didn't...my mind will not be covered
-
A2 Play allows us to collaborate in a fun-filled, stressfree, fearfree atmosphere which brings out creativity, curiosity, etc..
-
A3: always trying to find haunted houses...we would wait until late at night & see what we could hear or see

A3. Yes, alas, our childhood involved so much non-structured play & time vs. that of our children's generation & 2 much screen time
-
A3 Teaching my teddy bears & younger cousins in my makeshift classroom in my bedroom...always knew I wanted to be a teacher...Lol!

-
can we get on your list of EdChats? I would love to be able to save the transcript! It's Tues.'s from 8-9 PST
-
-
A3: I had a tree that I climbed and a stick. Those two things could become anything. And they did. https://t.co/dsehsTwvt3
-
-

A4: Biggest fear, Ss will be bored
-
my apologies. It's getting late on the East Coast and I must go to bed. It was a pleasure. Great group!
-
A4: Fear of failure likes to lurk. Though, with each success in my journey my confidence grows and my fear subsides.
-
super worried I'm not creative enough...making it meaningful & manageable.
-
A4 my biggest fear is that I will screw it up:)
-
A4: that it would suck and fail miserably. That this idea I believed so much in wouldn't be embraced by my students
-
A4: My biggest fear is going too big too fast. I don't mind failing when it's new but I don't want it to totally bomb
-
A4: I was going to say technology, but I think the only thing holding me back is my imagination...so I'm ready to jump!
-
A3 playing make believe, creating games while camping
-
A4 teaching very reluctant learners I worry about student buy in
-
A4. blogged about it being ok to be a dork w/ your s's, but some s's can't get over "not cool" factor of their t's
-
Let's be careful not to fall into the nostalgia trap. We played different. Better? I dunno. / Yes to warnings re: screen time tho..
-
A4: ensuring that it is done the right way.
-
-
A4) Time. Getting a great start but then demands of year taking a toll on its fluidity and development throughout school year.
-
great having you drop in for a few!
-
-
I do think it's fun showing them how "not cool" is actually the coolest
-
A4 I fear my students will think its stupid and have no buy in. I don't know how to make cool "launch" videos?!
-
Seems to happen mostly w/kids who trying to be too cool for school themselves
-
A4: worry #1 -- others won't understand the voyage and be unsupportive/obstacles.
-
A4: Making time for it..making it a priority
-
-
All these fears...so all the fears we seasoned gamifiers had when we started too!!!
-
A4: worry #2 -- getting lost or going down roads that really *aren't* productive/helpful.
-
A4: I worry that I won't have any fun ideas and that I will totally suck at this gamification thing.
-
A4 As a Literacy Coach, will my Ts embrace it & who will be willing to explore it in depth
-
A4 My biggest fear for gamification is where to begin? Afraid I will make it too complex. Crazy Thinker!
-
tech will come later. Let your knowledge of gamification and your imagination drive you first.
-
A4: I might be afraid that my colleagues will think I'm crazy, but most of them are here , so I just want to jump in and engage!
-
A3 i loved following my bros anywhere! I like that feeling in my classroom. Many leaders in a learning environment.
-
-
tech doesn't even have to play a role (I think)
-
videos are cool but not a necessity! I can't make them either...yet:)
-
gamification of a whole school year takes endurance. It is a marathon but it also works in parts and pieces too.
-
re: S BUY IN...some are in BECAUSE of you; some are in because it's the EXPECTATION >> still applies w //
-
I'm worried idk how to start small
-
A4: Just figuring out a starting point and getting everything rolling.
-
you don't need a cool video. You need to bring your passion and love for the game.
-
I love everyone's willingness to jump in! The best part is we are all in this together! Q5 in just a few!
-
A4 afraid to waste time if they weren't learning the content
-
that was my initial fear. I'll tell you this. Two yrs in...I will never ever go back!!!
-
for my teachers this will probably be their biggest fear too
-
-
-
I taught at Wilson from 01 to 05. Taught 1 and 2 bilingual combo.
-
A5: Vivid memories of gamifying the Stock Market unit in HS Consumer Economics over 25 years ago!
-
my wonderful wife Tisha is helping me through the fear!!
-
A5: Battle of the Books, 5th grade. Loved every second.
-
A4 Sadly can't think of any. But reading made me think of being a student and knowing I could learn it in my own way.
-
A5: Excitement, engagement, anticipation
-
A5: I remember doing trivia from the chapter...I get a rush from trivia (Jeopardy! lover), so these days were great fun :)
-
A5: I can't remember games...but as a teacher I want to engage and create relevance, my students are really into relevance.
-
A5 LOVE, sense of safety, care, happiness...
-
A5: Had some great Ts, but can't really think of any who used gaming techniques
-
A5 I don't think I had any gamers back then...
-
This hour went so fast! I'll be posting last question in just a minute!
-
A5: idr any games but I only liked the strict/traditional teachers & classes. Or I'm just too old to recall??
-
A5. Good news as I read tweets, our s's will NOT have this problem of never experiencing thanks to awesome teachers!
-
Interesting that so many of us don't remember games, but we want to create a gamified classroom.
-
A5: I don't recall any Ts who used any. I'm hoping that using in my own classroom though will bring relevance & fun for Ss.
-
A5: The closest thing to games for me was timed multiplication tests and spelling contests.
-
A5: Only game that sticks out was a Currency Trading game played in College. Excited at 1st, no follow up, lost interest.
-
A5 my dad was a teacher and was the only one who did games in HS history class, feeling of excitement to play
-
I am truly so amazed at the awesomeness of you all! Here's Q6...final question of the night! https://t.co/IiEurbsf27
-
WOW -- THANK YOU for all the new ! So kind of you :-D (Did my best to ...msg me if I missed you.)
-
they are SO into "how is this relevant to me?" I admire that.
-
Think it has to do with the lack of "fun" in recent years in classrooms, dont remember games but more fun
-
A6: Love the collaboration, problem solving, & engagement that brings to the classroom. Makes learning come alive!
-
A6: inspired me to start and now I look forward to fun, excitement, anticipation, success, failure, shared experiences!
-
-
A6. The overwhelming desire to have fun and never wanting the school day/year to end b/c we (class) all love being in school
-
A6 Simple: I want to see what my students can teach me!!!
-
A6: Finding a way to bring more fun into classroom, new ways to engage Ss, Eager to try new so I'm not bored & neither are Ss
-
-
A6: All the possibilities, Ss engagement, & problem solving.
-
A6. Finding a way to spark learning for Ss that don't fit into the traditional educational model
-
A6: a desire to get Ss interested in HS, learning & English. I know I need more fun in my classroom
-
A6: I think I already answered this one...engagement and relevance! :-)
-
A5) What I ask of stu, I ask of myself. Learn more. Give more. Listen more. Engage more. Be more.
-
You are all so brave to begin this new adventure! So proud of you all!
-
lol. Times table "games" it was a competition :)
