Journey to the lost “Island of Engagement” where you’ll complete a variety of challenges to uncover the powerful secrets of gamification and playful learning! In this gamified course, you’ll explore ways to combine tried and true instructional methods with the science of gamification to transform any lesson or classroom routine. Using your island map as a guide, you’ll discover essential game mechanics (like story, teams, levels, timers, rewards, etc.), determine the best brain-based strategies to increase engagement, and explore ready-to-go game templates to infuse new energy and excitement into your classroom. Upon completion of your heroic quest (and defeat of the “Big Boss”), you will have created a fully developed, gamified unit that’s ready for launch. Get ready for an epic adventure to create play with a purpose!
