How teachers can gamify their professional development today, and their classrooms tomorrow |
Vance Stevens speaks to teachers who are daunted by the complexities inherent in gamification and what they can do to bring themselves up to speed by joining communities of peers who scaffold one another, modeling for each other how gamification works in practice. Essentially, the secret is to get immersed in playing games with peers, to practice and learn experientially how gamification might work in your teaching context by incorporating gamification into your social networking / professional development strategy. |
