the end to gamification
FINALLY!! This week in class we finally finished the Tech-Teacher game and boy am I glad!! (sorry professor!) Although the game let us explore so many different apps and practice all the skills we have learned so far, the game was often frustrating on the iPad and sometimes a lot of work. We created a commercial with our Creative Commons notes and I had a lot of fun doing that. It was cool to let loose a bit and do something we haven't done before. I really enjoyed watching the rest of the class's commercials too. We also presented our Horizon Report websites. It was interesting to see the different things that they believe will be the new up and coming technologies for the classroom. My favorite was mobile learning. My group was assigned 3D printing and although it was cool and could be helpful, I don't really think it will become a big part of schools so I am interested in seeing its exposure in the future.

I have to agree that doing all this work on the iPad was tough. So many of the times either had issues or didn't work correctly at first and was so frustrating. I did have fun making the commercial too.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I'm happy that gamification is over with too!
ReplyDeleteI think you would have enjoyed Gamification if we had been on laptops or PCs. I think everyone learned a lot and enjoyed the activities especially the collaborative and creative ones.
