edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:07 PM EST

.@MrStevenKerr @guilfordt Glad to see you here on #NHed tonight! Ready to get your game on?

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:08 PM EST

Hmm, my favorite game... At the moment? #Minecraft! #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:08 PM EST

My favorite game is anything that will #engage Ss and teach or reinforce content #nhed

MrStevenKerr Jan 31 @ 7:08 PM EST

I like playing heads up with a group #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:09 PM EST

@audrallurvey I'm not familiar with that game. Care to elaborate? #nhed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:09 PM EST

Fav game is Ting Wings right now :-) #nhed

#NHed Q1: Have you ever used games in your classroom? If so, which ones & how was it received?

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:10 PM EST

#nhed games that try to bring movement to the library (wax museum) to get kids to move and help with focus

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:10 PM EST

.@csousanh @musiccargirl14 Aloha Chris & KT! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:11 PM EST

.@musiccargirl14 Ting Wings? What's that one? #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:11 PM EST

A1. When I was in the classroom, we played LOTS of games, including Win Lose Draw, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Baseball, etc ... #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:11 PM EST

I've seen games used extensively in classrooms of all ages; game students created or games like Monopoly and all sorts of card games #nhed

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:12 PM EST

A 1: #nhed elmentary students love games especially if they can move- helps them to focus- even if it is "simon says"

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:12 PM EST

#NHed A1: In the classes I taught, we built games. Had them start w/ board games & build out from there.

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:12 PM EST

@edventures That's a great way to review and learn content on a deeper level #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:13 PM EST

#nhed I often used games as review tools.

MrStevenKerr Jan 31 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: I think all Ss enjoy games as long as it is stimulating. I enjoyed using games a review for a test #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:14 PM EST

A1: I have incorporated a lot of games into the library as choices, Jenga, checkers / chess, other thrift store finds. Ss love them #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:14 PM EST

Anytime you can turn learning into a game it's a win-win scenario. #nhed

MrStevenKerr Jan 31 @ 7:14 PM EST

A1B: We used a hand game to learn/remember the Bill of Rights, it really got some Ss excited, and they were using it on the assessment #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:15 PM EST

.@csousanh Want to share how? #NHed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1 cont. I have used #kahoot in the past, which is super fun. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:15 PM EST

@MrStevenKerr I would love to hear more about that game. I know our SS T would too! #nhed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:15 PM EST

@edventures App game its adorable! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:16 PM EST

.@audrallurvey We had our stu council do that w/ our HS a month ago. They had a blast! #NHed

MrStevenKerr Jan 31 @ 7:16 PM EST

@DrMerriRajaniem Have them go to youtube and type in Bill of Rights hand game #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:16 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 I found this the other day https://t.co/HqLKhhmgvN. It is fun for Ss and adults! #nhed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:17 PM EST

A1: Always, great way to engage and teach the kids. Favorite was drumming ones. The curriculum I sell has tons of them built right in. #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:17 PM EST

Review content in jeopardy fashion, Google maps to see you can identify a place on earth first. Tech has taken them to the next level #nhed

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:17 PM EST

A1 continued: Brainpop review quiz or anytype of online quizzes (Flood on PBSkids) #nhed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:17 PM EST

@audrallurvey Absolutely adore that one. You can record creations too! #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:19 PM EST

A1. I use a lot of teacher created games, also the website https://t.co/SFc7h5kMLb and #choositmaker 3. #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:19 PM EST

This is one of my favorites. Played as 2 teams - https://t.co/mxeScpVfyV fantastic critical thinking skills and high-end application #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:19 PM EST

.@gallianstone Hey there @gallianstone, great to see you tonight! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

#NHed Q2: Look at your classroom/school, how many Ss/Ts would be your: Achievers, Killers, Explorers, Socializers? https://t.co/4OKMlnqkUH

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

.@csousanh Oh yeah, https://t.co/Ib0k6UMjX4 is a fun one! #NHed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

@guilfordt if we're counting those as games - then brainpop Jr. and IXL too. Though those require more modification. #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

I have heard #peardeck and #nearpod are good too, but have not used them. #googleforms with #flubaroo are also good for automation. #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

@edventures Thanks! Got half my progress notes done, so decided I could stop in. :) #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:20 PM EST

Also created games based on TV shows. I had the Amazing Race, the kids love that one. (I mainly taught social studies) #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:21 PM EST

@audrallurvey I really wish #googleforms would allow images in the answer selection - I would totally use it then! #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:23 PM EST

I'm not sure I understand the categories in Q2... #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2. I think every classroom and school has Ss and Ts in each of these categories #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:24 PM EST

#NHed Q2 Here are a couple more graphics to work from https://t.co/QPAXaTDXDI

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:24 PM EST

.@gallianstone I just dropped 2 more pics in to help illustrate. #NHed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:25 PM EST

@edventures Thanks! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:26 PM EST

#NHed Q2 cont'd: I bring up these player types b/c so often the focus is just on the killer/achievers, ie. points. More to it than that...

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:26 PM EST

A2. Definitely need to build relationships with Ss and Ts to determine categories and understand best approaches #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:26 PM EST

Mostly explorers - they don't care about levels or winning - just about playing. #nhed

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:28 PM EST

#nhed A2 : Killers/achievers mostly and few explorers

MrStevenKerr Jan 31 @ 7:29 PM EST

A2: I think each class/ staff has a mix of each and some Ss and/or Ts are a mix of multiple areas #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:29 PM EST

I think our staff is a mix of those categories, but I think they work well together, each acknowledging each other's rolls. #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:29 PM EST

An element of achievers - games have to have good reward music, and S will sometimes just hunt for the reward w/o attending to ? #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:30 PM EST

#NHed Q3: What sorts of motivation is most important to your class/school community? https://t.co/D6O5he9sxk

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:30 PM EST

.@gallianstone That's how I see myself as well. Which is why I have such an issue w/ things that focus only on winning/status/points. #NHed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:31 PM EST

Years ago when I was a Tchr, we used to play Quake capture the flag/fortress from two comp rooms - we had it networked. Great PD #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:31 PM EST

@edventures Some element is good - my Ss could use to pay more attention to how they did/the correct answer. A skill to work on. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:32 PM EST

All of these factors, player types, RAMP affiliation, etc. play into how we leverage game principles for learning. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:32 PM EST

I look at a game like #Minecraft that hits so many of these things. But what other games/approaches work with Ss & Ts? #NHed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:33 PM EST

A3: I try to focus on Purpose. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:33 PM EST

A3. Again, we have all categories RAMP, which makes a better culture and community. Food for thought when planning PD for Ts #nhed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:34 PM EST

A3: Each Ss is different, therefore I think they each need different types of motivation to keep moving forward. #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:34 PM EST

@edventures each of those categories are so important in our school, all of them are needed to be part of a healthy culture #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:34 PM EST

A3. We're really focused on Autonomy. An engaging way to access content. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:35 PM EST

.@musiccargirl14 True, the trick is to know your Ss & Ts well enough to know who needs what, and when! #NHed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:36 PM EST

@edventures Exactly! Hey! That's what my Grad HW is about this week! lol #nhed

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:37 PM EST

A3: #nhed I want to focus on autonomy and purpose but i know a lot of teachers focus on Mastery

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:37 PM EST

.@musiccargirl14 LOL, quote me! #NHed

musiccargirl14 Jan 31 @ 7:37 PM EST

@edventures hahaha, maybe I WILL! #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:38 PM EST

@guilfordt I think it's possible for the Ss to be engaged in/focus on autonomy while T is checking for mastery. That's how we roll.... #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:39 PM EST

Look at what attracts Ss to videogames, think about what makes that true. Control, choice v. chance, independence v. dependence. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:40 PM EST

#NHed Q4: How do you see games and/or gamification working in your classroom/school?

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:40 PM EST

@edventures And escape from reality? #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:40 PM EST

All of those things plus acknowledgement, rewards, and challenge #nhed https://t.co/cxeI8fmpy3

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:39 PM EST

Look at what attracts Ss to videogames, think about what makes that true. Control, choice v. chance, independence v. dependence. #NHed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:40 PM EST

.@guilfordt much of our state portfolios is game-based activity: Ss chose it b/c it's fun and I can still track mastery. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:41 PM EST

.@audrallurvey In some cases it is a safer choice! That does need to be tempered though IMO. #NHed

ERobbPrincipal Jan 31 @ 7:41 PM EST

@edventures A4 #NHED Any people have success using mine craft in school?

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:42 PM EST

A4. Games address 21st century and soft skills. Games are brain based, engaging, and FUN #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:42 PM EST

.@ERobbPrincipal Beginning to explore it via #MinecraftEDU at my school #Interlakes. #NHed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:42 PM EST

@edventures let's not rule out competition. Each element of RAMP could help motivate/drive Ss & Ts competitive instincts. #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:42 PM EST

A4. Game-based activities (on computer/iPad) are the one activity where Ss can work independently. That's huge! #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:42 PM EST

A4: I would love to do more #gamification but I am finding that 50 minutes for a lesson, book checkout and a game is not enough. #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4 cont: I would like to #gamify my lessons, since many of the library skills are a bit dry #nhed

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: Ss will continue to try a game over & over again when failing. We need to bring this mentality to the classroom! #nhed

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 7:44 PM EST

A4: Game Based Learning resources from #4OCF https://t.co/gahN4patRZ #nhed https://t.co/2T9OQUrWwb

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:44 PM EST

How can we strike a balance, or in some cases draw out the opposite of what our Ss & Ts prefer? #NHed https://t.co/urHcTgYE4F

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:44 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @edventures tried some last year, Ss very interested,but ran into #a11y issues. May try again if I get the iPad app. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:44 PM EST

@audrallurvey Have you tried stations in the library? You could have games in the centers. Ss rotate while checking out books #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:45 PM EST

Yes! We talk about persistence, grit, etc. Games do this now, so how can we use those principles to guide us? #NHed https://t.co/l7eO5HwLr8

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4: Ss will continue to try a game over & over again when failing. We need to bring this mentality to the classroom! #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:46 PM EST

@audrallurvey we have to build a culture of teaming & integration getting you (& others) in clsrms to coteach for units w/games etc #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:47 PM EST

@DrMerriRajaniem I have thought a lot about it. I am getting held up in the management of it, keeping Ss working who are not with me #nhed

audrallurvey Jan 31 @ 7:47 PM EST

@csousanh Yes - agreed! #nhed

RACzyz Jan 31 @ 7:48 PM EST

@edventures Encourage risk-taking. Can be as simple as changing the language that we use with Ss. #4OCF #nhed https://t.co/ZzGg4o03x7

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:48 PM EST

@edventures Do we want to? at least for my Ss it's more about the rewards than anything else. That way lies danger and dependence IME. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:50 PM EST

#NHed Q5: What do wish to know more about when it comes to gamification?

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:50 PM EST

.@RACzyz I love this Rich! Want to consider a student creativity and innovation chat with me here on #NHed?

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:50 PM EST

.@gallianstone True! Too much of one thing pulls us out of balance. And we know that the force desires a balance! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:51 PM EST

#NHed I'm a big fan of Choose Your Own Adventure games. How might we make our learning like this? #openbadges https://t.co/pr7KSb2Mx9

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:52 PM EST

#NHed #Gamification - I see badges as genes that we can combine into a learning DNA! https://t.co/2WIi8giJia

guilfordt Jan 31 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5: #nhed minecraft and education version- getting one set up

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:52 PM EST

@edventures I think it comes down to clear learning objectives that Ss can understand (and are motivated to master.) #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:53 PM EST

A5. Creating a culture of change of mindset that gamification is valuable and Ss are learning. #nhed

csousanh Jan 31 @ 7:54 PM EST

#nhed Ss love riddles, scavenger hunts, they love to find things out and become experts. Make a game of it, & it will motivate your Ss

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:55 PM EST

.@RACzyz Back in the 80's that was my first foray into coding! CYOA in BASIC! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Jan 31 @ 7:56 PM EST

.@csousanh Do you think we could turn this into a live action game? #NHed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:56 PM EST

@edventures @RACzyz mine too, though I did it in LOGO not BASIC. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Jan 31 @ 7:57 PM EST

No doubt games motivate and engage Ss. Seems the difficulty would be selling the benefits to Ps and Admin, getting buy in from Ts #nhed

gallianstone Jan 31 @ 7:57 PM EST

@edventures @RACzyz and I will be kind and not tell you how old I was at the time... Lol. #nhed
