GAMIFICATION
EXAMPLES AND RESOURCES
Lately it is becoming fashionable in
formal education methodologies
applying Gamification, which
is being implemented in
non-formal education
for over 100 years.
FOR TEACHERS
But ... what is Gamification?
So, basically, it is to use a game system
with all its components (motivators,
rules, narrative, aesthetic, recognition
of achievements, magical world)
to achieve goals.
Why?
Because as Raph Koster studied
“When you’re playing you’re learning
things, when you stop discovering
and learning you begin to get bored”
