GauthierRebecca Jul 6 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@DonnaGaul that's great to hear and you can come back to it as a resource! #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Power, money, randomness all play a part in the wonderfulness of Monopoly #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck #XPLAP is always a great time! You made the right choice!

maestrolinville Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. Race for control of finite resources. #xplap

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: So many options & ways to earn more $...its never ending at times which makes it a challenge...you want to be the one who wins! #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Balances player to player interaction, strategy, and chance. Varying game mechanics keep game interesting. #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1) It is different every time even though the elements stay the same; strategy involved; opportunity to build empires #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: It is super competitive and completely engages the players...to a point. #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Never the same game twice, money, power over other players, gathering of assets #XPLAP

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

CookClass3 Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: the stress and fun anxiety of winning boardwalk and park place! #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@maestrolinville Good life lesson there. Not one that is focused on often in games. #XPLAP

GauthierRebecca Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1: the rules are fairly simple and it is just hard enough to keep you coming back but not to easy that you get board of it. #XPLAP

rice_julie Jul 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A!: It’s timeless, good for all generations! #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 (2): Also love that it is a game that could be never-ending. Always wise to set a time limit #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Any age can play it, there are goals to achieve, it's interactive, and has easter eggs in it. (Reference to last week's chat) #XPLAP

MrRoughton Jul 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Interaction + collection: two basic human needs. (And the ability to be themed around anything.) #xplap

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1) simple to learn, hard to master! #XPLAP

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@RLTaylor94 RIGHT?! It's infuriating #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

I have "Duckopoly" which is Oregon Ducks themed! Love that the streets are actually in Eugene! #XPLAP https://t.co/8U4YGzNmOk

The original game was called The Landlord's Game and first appeared in 1904 as a warning against monopolies of the time. #XPLAP #historygeek

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 I love my playstation version because the pieces come to life. #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@maestrolinville Will you end in jail by rolling 3 doubles???? #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

My class had a HOMEWORKOPLOY with the parts named after people in my school #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@ssengagement great! Always look forward to #XPLAP chat and seeing my peeps!

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck Interesting fact that I did not know. Thanks for sharing #XPLAP

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Could easily roll into a classroom economy but take it to the next level. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#xplap A1. it's the least common denominator of board gaming next to war and go fish. #gamedesign has played a role though in it's theme

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

This is such an amazing idea!! I LOVE IT! #XPLAP https://t.co/dLCLn7YGk0

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2 Ss can acquire squares by answering questions or completing a task. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#xplap A2. knowledgeopoly where the goal is to collect useful skills and information to become geared up for the 21st century world

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: Ss could purchase “areas” in the classroom based on money they collect for the week. Restart each week #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@RLTaylor94 Can't take complete credit for it, but did share around my school #XPLAP

Rdene915 Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@tishrich #XPLAP hi, late from Pittsburgh, Span T, A1 loved monopoly so much to it, lots of skills involved, critical thinking fun strategy

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2) monopoly is a game for long stretch, so mechanics that allow Ss skill to make a small difference over a long period of time #XPLAP

AllisonKnoph Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@MViTDiTeach very cool! What did they earn as they collected parts? #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: For math and economics the basics of the game fit right into the lesson. Thinking...feeds squirrels... #xplap

MrRoughton Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: I do a build a colony game with the goal of out-populating the other groups. Doesn't have trade yet though... hmm... #xplap

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@DonnaGaul Family game took over 3 hours with the XBOX version, youngest was 6 & totally engaged! #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2) The acquiring of any element with whoever, or whatever team, collects the most is similar to the Monopoly goal #XPLAP

GauthierRebecca Jul 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@MrRoughton yeah... I still need to work on the trading part too #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Ss could purchase “areas” in the classroom based on money they collect for the week. Restart each week #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 it could also teach geography. E.g. my Ss could acquire parts of Roman Empire. Have Ss decide on which ones are ranked and why. #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@AllisonKnoph Items having to do w/class, free seat choice, extra recess, negs too such as jumping jacks or sing to the class #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck dang! I'm getting ideas for a great unit! #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: Roll the dice for choice of project or # of XP points they get for the project? #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@ssengagement So builds endurance and perseverance #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: When Ss earn XP they could roll for how much they will receive. Adds an element of chance and incentive. #XPLAP

GauthierRebecca Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Love the idea of rolling dice to determine if an item is used or how it is used. #XPLAP

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: Could tie dice into current math unit and assign different values based on current unit of study. #XPLAP

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I use rolling dice for battle in my classes and for moving our civilization game forward. #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3) I often use them for discussion purposes during shared text reading where conversation prompts match die numbers; roll & talk #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3 when I have Ss create games, they make their own dice. #XPLAP

MrRoughton Jul 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I use dice rolls to determine bonus points on certain cards in my class management game. The tactile nature is awesome! #xplap

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#xplap A3. random number generators are "real life" b/c we don't know what we are going to get. Great "simulator" to show risk vs reward

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

I let teams roll dice for 1-4 +50 XP 5-6 -50 if they completed hw. Ss actually find probability to decide if their team should roll #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: Every time they research and document a business, movement, person, etc. they earn money that they can spend in class. Hmm... #xplap

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@ssengagement Like this idea for XP #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#xplap A3. besides kids just love the tactile aspect of "rolling" dice

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Dice still moves them around board so that they can complete skills in random order #XPLAP

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3) not dice, but a game of Rock Paper Scissors in front of class is always a showdown to see who goes first in games #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@DonnaGaul Great skill that takes some a while to learn #XPLAP

GauthierRebecca Jul 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@ssengagement Isn't there a game that does that? #XPLAP

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck I understand. I love this chat because it really challenges me to think about the classroom in a different way! #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: Ss earn xp or money to level up for better xp or money return that will move them up the board toward the ultimate gold level. #xplap

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Could use dice to determine DOK for skill with 2 #s as random or free choice #XPLAP

my class is still in a grid of desks (don't kill me) roll dice. First die is row, second is column. That seat is Ss who answers #XPLAP

A2: Ultimate Gold Level are only allowed special privileges. Other levels have special abilities like a super hero. #xplap (still thinking)

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: Use Flippity with Google Sheets to randomly flash cards on the smart board. Ss take a chance by choosing the cards #XPLAP

A3 cont.: When Ss earn XP they could roll for how much they will receive. Adds an element of chance and incentive. #XPLAP

A4: I feel great way to incorporate QR codes. Ss take a risk to scan. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

#xplap A4. much like die, and RNG or random event would force s's to consider % of success & risk vs. reward outcomes

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Q4 this aspect ties into easter eggs from last week's chat. It adds an extra layer of complication to keep their attention #XPLAP

MrRoughton Jul 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: My class game can have both good and bad outcomes - makes it WAY more exciting. The tension of when to play/quit is great. #xplap

@tishrich #xplap A4 Great opportunity for self-eval, reflection, share ideas, feedback, talk w/Ss, work on skills

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck See you got this! Love the idea of finding an error. It will make Ss double check their work. #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A5: Once they show learning/mastery of a standard/project they could have special privileges Like being a moderator or peer leader #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@maestrolinville - Always one of my favorite aspects in a game. #XPLAP

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@tishrich From #xplap book, page 176 in Tools and Treasures. Used it in teams, faction vs faction and house vs house. Love idea to add risk.

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A5 Ss master all parts of a learning objective before they can move up. These are their superpowers need them all to activate fusion #XPLAP

ssengagement Jul 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A5) multi-layered game mechanics! Could this tied into side quests? #xplap

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@CaptainRPSmith3 Yes, they have to be accurate. Also, if another group finds that it was plagiarized? #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5 this is like scaffolding. Once they master a task, they move on to a higher task. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

#xplap A5. I've used avery sticker badges 2 show mastery of material/chapters & s's love to show off "bling" on folders = status aka pokemon

rice_julie Jul 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Q6 coming up! #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#XPLAP - Would love to find a public speaking teacher who uses gamification. Feel like I'm starting from scratch. #gamification

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A5: Next yr, tri 1= faction initiation, tri 2 = fight for faction leadership & tri 3 = faction battles. I see this element in tri 3. #XPLAP

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@tishrich Amazing. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure that really motivates Ss to shine. #XPLAP

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:40 PM EDT

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: Team challenges- gives teams identities and unity, Ss could level up to a better avatar, earn pets #XPLAP

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: My 2nd grade classroom is Seussville & parts of the room are places from Dr. Seuss books. Maybe Ss create avatar to match place #XPLAP

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: #XPLAP Avatars can be used for Ss to become other people and empathize with characters in history. #XPLAP

RLTaylor94 Jul 6 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A6: #XPLAP Avatars can be used for Ss to become other people and empathize with characters in history. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:41 PM EDT

#xplap A6. avatars allow us to have a "safe" identity online and would be perfect for #gamification in the classroom - alter ego for s's

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A6: Each team creates an avatar/name/logo that they use throughout semester. #XPLAP

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@JudiHolst I focus heavily on speaking skills in my 6th ELA. #gamification led to persuasive faction petition end of yr assessment. #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A6 Ss create their own, gives them buy in and fosters creativity #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Ss groups could create their own avatars in line with the subject, time period or unit you're teaching. Awards 4 best voted by Ss. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

#xplap A6. I dearly miss the Simpsonize me avatar maker... :(

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A5: Once all skills are mastered n a section, Ss can earn rewards or extra supports for more difficult #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A5) Different genre reading earns different XP with different opportunities and challenges when 3 books from any genre completed #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@StefaniePitzer this sounds soooooo cute. #XPLAP

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A6 I'd like to have Ss draw avatars/characters and write a story about them to build up excitement #xplap https://t.co/3YDn4STAUI

@DonnaGaul - Interesting thought. Creating a unit around The Great Food Truck Race and The Next Iron Chef. Can incorporate that. #XPLAP

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: My Ss can create Avatars to match their initial faction, and then adapt them once they petition to new faction in 2nd trimester. #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@meyerisland Like the idea of badges for completing section #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@tishrich They could be ranked by Ss and xp given for each place. #xplap

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6) Ss will be different MI teams for Mission Impossible themed game; class will decide on names for buy-in #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

#xplap A6. Great connection with @jedikermit and superheroes for content areas as avatars #playlap

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@Ron_Peck Great idea! Rush to be first done creates more + comp, but must be correct #XPLAP

StefaniePitzer Jul 6 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@meyerisland @jedikermit YES! and YES! #XPLAP #playlap

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@CaptainRPSmith3 @tishrich I had Ss write faction profiles on @KidblogDotOrg at the start.I like adding Avatar creation via #playlap #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@tishrich @DonnaGaul - No, but teenagers and food is a match made in heaven. Actually got the idea from @HeckAwesome. #XPLAP

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

reminds me of quizlet live where if you get one wrong answer, you lose all progress - so accuracy > speed #xplap https://t.co/KUHpQYN2Hi

@Ron_Peck Great idea! Rush to be first done creates more + comp, but must be correct #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: For my game I have used avatars that have standards based meaning, such as a pan of gold for CA history #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Here's Q7! #XPLAP https://t.co/BmKN34vuWI

meyerisland Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#xplap A6. I got grant for 3D printer and we'll make avatars for content area focus @MViTDiTeach - great idea!

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@meyerisland I used doppleme to create avatars that are similar to my Ss #XPLAP

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@sandyrotto @tishrich @KidblogDotOrg Thanks! I'll look into that #xplap

rice_julie Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6: If using design thinking the avatar could represent their “client” #XPLAP #launch

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@meyerisland @jedikermit Great minds think alike. Totally thought of Quinn and #Playlap when thinking of creating avatars. #XPLAP

hmarrs24 Jul 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A7: Ss earn stars in my class and turn them in 4 coupons...I could alter with a few game mechanics! #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

#playlap by @jedikermit is another amazing book that is a perfect compliment to #XPLAP ! https://t.co/j4PhTW0SYz

sandyrotto Jul 6 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: Think I'll add currency after new factions are formed in my ELA classes. They will use them to prepare for tri 3 faction battles. #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@CaptainRPSmith3 Great idea! #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A7: Use money, XP or whatever so students earn/learn their way to higher levels...of thinking. Rewards in many different formats. #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@meyerisland Would love this! #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A7 my school has pride tickets for pbis. I encorporate them into activities sometimes. #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Final question coming at ya in 2 minutes! Where does the time go? #XPLAP

CaptainRPSmith3 Jul 6 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@MViTDiTeach Thanks! This is my first year applying this amazingness! #xplap

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Tangent thought: there needs to be a pbis chat. I've kept my eye out for several months. #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@CaptainRPSmith3 @tishrich - Good idea. Thinking of using currency to help them with Food Race presentation. Extra items maybe? #XPLAP

MViTDiTeach Jul 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A7: I use currency in my class now to "buy" extra supplies and bid on items at auction, could give it more for skill/game completion #XPLAP

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 In food truck race teams earned money for food truck during challenges. Judges paid teams based on criteria. #XPlap

mrskochheiser Jul 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7) I think $ for small individual challenges and activities is great as it can get overplayed and Ss sometimes lose focus of goal #XPLAP

tishrich - Moderator Jul 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A8: Surprise health inspections & restaurant critics. Could earn special badge if have "A" rating that would give special priv. #XPLAP

DonnaGaul Jul 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A8 create a bonus question or box, something that not all players can get. It adds the element of luck also. #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@tishrich - You have already created my dream unit? #XPLAP

Ron_Peck Jul 6 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A8: Go to Jail for making an error. Lose a turn? Pass Go and get XP. Free Parking could be an area Ss go to quietly do...? Free time? #xplap

@AllisonKnoph @MViTDiTeach I'm sure once we get in a flow, we will see our lessons in a new way and the anxiety will lessen #XPLAP

JudiHolst Jul 6 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@sandyrotto @tishrich - Tisha, how much can you be bribed? 😄 #XPLAP
