The Power of Gamification
How can we get our students to actively engage in activities, interact with each other effectively and at the same time learn as much as possible? One answer is Gamification. In this talk we will be looking at what gamification is, what the benefits are and examples of games taken from Mondadori’s new book called Upskill. We want the learners to go from passive to active learners, from simple recipients to critical thinkers and hopefully stimulate their learning at the same time.
