Our gamified Academy class has continued to grow since having this conversation with @modernclassproj . Students love unlocking new areas and "Side Quest/Should-Do" challenges while learning. (Kids are cataloguing mysteries and story/character theories on Google docs for fun.)🎮
Don't just play the game of learning, master it! Zach Diamond sits down with Chad Collins to discuss his approach to gamifying his classroom. Tune into Episode 177 to discover how gamification can level up your classroom:

"Title Screen" of New Class Hub for Next Year🎮. Going beyond Google Classroom, this year we're using a very classic RPG video game style world as the class learning hub. Students will use the same tools I'm using to build characters and grow the setting. More to share soon!

If you've not read this #edtechelixirs post, do yourself a favor and do so. The idea of this teacher publishing student DnD adventures and the positivity his effort and care creates for students is top-tier "Education can be Awesome" inspiration.
In my latest #edtechelixirs I highlight Christopher Woo from @JCPSKY Seneca High School and his #dnd club. Amazed how he self publishes the adventures of his students' characters! . #kyedrpg #kygoplay #UnitedWeLearnKY #AllinKY #KYILN #gamebasedlearning.

Additional shout-out to some phenomenal Bellarmine Esports team student volunteers. Very cool seeing college students willing to sit with a group of middle school students and pass on tips and coaching. REALLY impressed by this group. @BUeSportsKy

Getting to view 8th Grade Defenses of Learning today was a highlight in a pretty great week of work. REAL reflection is happening here, and some incredible students were hyped to come showcase their presentations with 6th grade students next week. #ProfileofaLearner🎓

Spencer County Schools had our first GT "Spark Saturday" event, hosting students for learning and fun with visitors from @KYScience. Students also had an awesome tour of the SCMS PAX Career Lab, and worked with student volunteers from SCMS and SCHS. 🪐

Thanks again @watsonedtech for talking Technology with my 6th grade students this week. Discussion on History of AI leveled perfectly to engage this grade, including notes on safety, ethics, and where we go from here.

7th Grade Social Studies Teachers Ashley McGaughey and Rachel Kramer challenged students to open a "Time Machine Travel Agency" for tours to ancient civilizations. ⏳. As you'd expect, Spencer Co. students delivered. (T-Shirts! Picarones! Art! Business Cards! Stickers!)

Really enjoying testing the KC7 platform the last couple weeks before using with students. ZERO cybersecurity understanding before playing, makes it 100% feel like a puzzle game with very cool progression/competitive elements. @MrQuillen @KC7cyber #KySTE25.
Here with @MrQuillen and pumped to hear how he's implemented a cybersecurity course for high school students! #kyste25 #KYDLC #UnitedWeLearnKY #AllinKY #KYILN
