A2: I also like to use points (separate from XP) that are earned for exceptional or enduring student skills to enhance items #XPLAP

psamel Oct 17 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2 Theme is the dressing in general. Singing, dancing, acting, art are always special ingredients too. #xplap

HeckAwesome Oct 17 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: also just leveling up can enhance other items on my game #XPLAP

teachforthought Oct 17 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2: If #gamification were the pizza, then ranch is the item to DOUBLE XP after a mission. *exclusions apply see T for details #XPLAP

MsSpearsTweets Oct 17 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2) multipliers, use of dice, hidden cards and achievements unlocked by certain tasks and deeds. #xplap

A4: My crews are building and upgrading their shuttle. Team missions allow them to upgrade them and get special bonuses! #xplap

MrHentzen Oct 17 @ 10:44 PM EDT

I feel like it sort of pulls them out of the game world a bit though if I'm like "ok kids, here's a worksheet we're going to do" #xplap

Q6: Combo is my fav graphic of the night… ZELDA! #XPLAP

PerkyScience Oct 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT

Maybe hide a code in the answers. On Boring "learn" days I like to do call outs from my LMS for XP. Kids now look for it. #XPLAP

we dont need to always live in it but we can let gamification's energy and inspiration push us to move away from WS type lessons #XPLAP

This guy visited our class today. He tried really hard to ruin our community but our Ss were resilient! #XPLAP

So appreciate the community on Voxer. Gives me a chance to reflect and learn even when #XPLAP isn't in session. :)

A6: I have some items that are lvl 1 version and then they go all the way up to lvl 3 item. Super version of the lvl 1. #XPLAP

HeckAwesome Oct 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A6: huh...so much thinking I need to do about this! Definitely a next step for me! #XPLAP

MrHentzen Oct 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT

(part 1)I am trying to move away from WS lessons, but I'm not sure how to get some of the skills in without them. #xplap

In reply to @HeckAwesome, @PerkyScience, @mrmatera

PerkyScience Oct 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A6: This seems to have taken items to the next level. I need to consider this. Watching for ideas.... #XPLAP

teachforthought Oct 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A5: #SPACE is so… infinite! Ss can equip a warp drive to their shuttle to visit other areas of the game! #XPLAP

teachlikeaninja Oct 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT

We were working on similes/metaphors. Ss were coming up w/ examples. Bonus XP if they could come up w/ ones to describe their ship #xplap

(part 2) I'm not sure how to practice using certain equations, like determining kinetic energy without them. #xplap

Q7: Combos for sale on #XPLAP love to hear your thoughts!

PerkyScience Oct 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT

I made a vocab lesson into a scavenger hunt. It took some chucking, but the cool thing was the "thought time" it gave the kids. #XPLAP

hmmmm... not sure. Im not one to force the theme. Maybe completion of the WS with specific quality or something could be themed #XPLAP

teachlikeaninja Oct 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT

I haven't done that yet, but that's awesome. Usually I just have an extra game related question, but that sounds a lot more fun. #xplap

MrHentzen Oct 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT

a6) I'm hoping to get abilities figured out for the players that would increase in power as they leveld. #XPLAP
