Have you ever incorporated “game mechanics” (such as point systems, badges, levels, teams/parties, or quests) or “game thinking” (competition, cooperation, exploration, and more!) into class activities or projects? How? Tell us about it—and how your English language learners responded?. by Ernesto Correa

The first one related to games in devices like kahoot, quizziz, socrative, etc.
The second one was a project in which students in a scavenger hunt students (SS) had to scan QR codes with questions and answers. SS received a map with a set of instructions and points to accomplish the task.
The third one was to apply a system of rewards using "Bankaroo" which allows you to assign points to a "credit card" and that was reflected on a screen every time SS accomplished a task/homework.]]> 2021-05-19 12:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/profernestocba/pj21hqjwif9p9fsu/wish/1539332821 Yes, I have eliratru18 https://padlet.com/profernestocba/pj21hqjwif9p9fsu/wish/1545676440 When working with groups I used to give fake money which represented extra points. I used to organize them in pairs or group for vocabulary/grammar competitions. Students felt motivated and tended to support to weak/less participative students. For online lessons, ClassDojo allows teachers to give badges which also worked well, and I have a printed star which I show young students when they accomplish a class goal.]]> 2021-05-20 21:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/profernestocba/pj21hqjwif9p9fsu/wish/1545676440 I'm on it eduardoasak https://padlet.com/profernestocba/pj21hqjwif9p9fsu/wish/1545792063 I teach privately, so marks were never a way to evaluate my students, they don't change courses, they just learn. having said that, they always need some kind of evaluations and for that I always used points, credits, badges and even gifts, doing your homework won't get you a mark, but it will get you badges and rewards. They like the idea that a homework not being done won't get you into troubles, but if you do it, something better will come.]]> 2021-05-20 22:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/profernestocba/pj21hqjwif9p9fsu/wish/1545792063
