“The process of using game thinking and game mechanics to solve problems and engage users.”

Turning the class content and the way students learn into a game with a rewards system, quests,
experience levels, and healthy competition.

Mr. Pai features scalable, game
based curriculum using Flower Power of Mangahigh.com,
Timez Attack, Tutpup.com,
Nintendo DS, Brain Age 2, Raz-Kids, etc.
A hands-on political simulation that
gives players the opportunity to explore the connectedness of the global
community through the lens of the economic, social, and environmental
crises and the imminent threat of war.
The goal of the game is to extricate each country from dangerous
circumstances and achieve global prosperity with the least amount of
military intervention. As nation teams, students will gain greater understanding of the critical impact of information and
how it is used.

NO GAME, NO ____!
GAME ADDICTION
Moving Forward
SHOULD I GAMIFY my course, learning activity or assessment?
KEY QUESTIONS
1. What is the content that needs to be learned?
2. Why does this content need to be learned?
3. Who is the audience for this course?
4. What is your budget?
5. How much time do you have?
Adapted from: http://gamification.org/education/
Seven Tips!
1. Gamify grading with levels besides alphabets or percentages.
2. Award students with badges for completed tasks.
3. Integrate educational video games into your curriculum.
4. Stir up a little competition.
5. Implement a class-wide rewards system to encourage top students to help weaker students.
6. Gamify homework to inspire more effort.
7. Use social media tools to gamify social interaction and provide continuous feedback.
