Gamification

At first, I was all about the Gamification within the classroom; however, there are some downfalls to the idea. When using Gamification in the classroom, it is important for all of the students to understand all aspects of the game and how the entire thing works. I had no idea what Gamification was until this class so I had no background with it and was a bit confused at first. I do not think this kind of activity should be done as a group because I feel like it is more individual based and it allows the students to work at their pace. When a group is designed to complete certain activities and levels it may be hard because one or more group members might not be at the same activity yet and I think it makes it difficult. I do like it for individual work though and I think it is great to get students thinking on their own.
