I've been searching forever for the gamification thread

[Iskra]

Someone on here posted the details of how they've gamified their homeschool, and I really want to find that thread. It was posted sometime this summer I think.

Does anyone know what I am talking about?

I just did a search on the curriculum board and found this link http://www.mrdaley.com/wordpress/201...our-classroom/. It was posted by user Wehomeschool. hope that is what you were looking for. I have been buying lots of games at thrift stores too. Love the idea that there is "sneaky" learning going on while we play.

Thanks for trying. That link gives me an error. But I also seemed to recall that the post was started by Wehomeschool, but I am having trouble finding anything about it on her blog.

I think this is the link you were trying to post:

http://www.mrdaley.com/wordpress/2011/07/27/education-levels-up-a-newbs-guide-to-gamifying-your-classroom/

 

And I have read that, but I was curious about the implementations by some of the members of this forum

thanks for the better link. I just read it and learned a new word “Gamification“. Gamifying simply means turning the class content and the way students learn into a game with a rewards system, quests, experience levels, and healthy competition. I thought it meant using games (board or online) as a part of your curriculum .Am learning so much here.

Just saw this...I took pictures of what we are doing a couple weeks ago. I have to grab a few moments to write about it. So far, so good!!
