gamification
This week in class, we explored gamification. I have never heard of gamification until this class. However, I have been in classes where teachers integrate games, especially when I was in the younger grades. I think gamification is a great way to change it up for students, keep them interested, having fun, all while learning. The game we played in class was a bit frustrating playing on the iPads. I think it would of been better on a computer. My favorite task of the game so far was exploring the Brain Pop and Game Up games and choosing 5 to play and describe. I am interested to see what the rest of the game has entail for us!

Doing the game on the ipad was definitely challenging, but I agree with you that my favorite part was exploring games on GameUp. I often found myself more interested in the game I was playing on the site and forgetting to finish our assignment.
