Young students have lower self-control. Thus, developing the interests of learning and cultivating positive learning behaviors are primary missions on a class. Students have preference for different classes. Gamification provides students a reason for participanting class and having fun while learning. Also, using Classcraft every day and following the same routine and rules helps to integrate gamification into normal class experience and reinforce the positive patterns it creates. Consistently, students keep good learning habits regularly over the long-term, and are benefit for higher education. Additionally, students works in teams that they support each other and also monitor their actions because their rewards and penalty are connected. However, Moodle is not appropriated for K-12 students because it’s hard to require them to read materials and do assignment by themselves along. Young students are possible to skip the works due to the low self-discipline. ]]> 2019-03-04 02:06:42 UTC https://padlet.com/suiqiran95/Qiran/wish/337316992 Disadvantages suiqiran95 https://padlet.com/suiqiran95/Qiran/wish/337317502
