Q5: Let’s go beyond points, badges, and leaderboards. How else can we use #gamification in the classroom #USedchat

TechedUpTeacher Jul 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@tfuhrman what your talking about is the game-mechanic zone of proximal development #USedchat

MrKelly027 Jul 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT

100% #USedchat and they can be part of the dialogue to create a solution https://t.co/hAxctkpMLa

MrsGrabner Jul 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A5 #Gamification was a great self-monitoring tool. Work completion increased and distractions decreased significantly. #USedchat
