This course gave me more insights on how to implement gamification in my class. These are points that I would like to implement -introducting on badges , and weekly leaderboard. I believe implement gamifications in my class will engage more the students.

New fun and creative ways to make the lessons more engaging and inclusive

Balance more traditional with digital (especially since the students seem to be more tech savvy than me)

Badges sound fun and effective

The practical example provided of the sticker wall is doable (but to be done with all students of x4 Year Groups, it might be a difficult task to 'include' them all)

Be careful and consider inclusive engagement more

I learned what gamification entails. Realised I was using some elements of Gamification throughout my teaching. But now I will be more aware of it and try to extended it (such as reflecting on the MDA theory.

Action Steps - I will be trying to incorporate Badges related to specific tasks, skills, effort and attitudes. Creating specific badges personalised for my teaching with Co-Pilot.

Gamification uses points badges and leader boards to boost the student motivation. I will try and use this more in coding challenges.

I think that currently educators need to try innovative ideas to engage students. Gamification helps to students to become active learners. I am sure will use tips and tools that I learned during the sessions. Will sure pass what I have learned to educators so that they can use them in class.

I found this course as an eye opener to new ideas and resources that I can implement in class. I believe a lot in the importance of inclusion and in the way learners engage in different ways. There is no one size fits all. I use class Dojo and I reward points for various things such as listening and students' engagement. I like the idea of badges.

Will definitely use slido and mentimeter instead of the usual oral brainstorm exercise. Also plan to use padlet, for example for a book review task. Quiziz can also be used as a quick revision/recap of a previous lesson.

I learned that gamification can make lessons more engaging and motivate students to participate actively. I will try using Kahoot, a point system or fun challenges in class to reward participation and teamwork.
