Game Design in Education

As I continue to read more about games in education, I have came across the following links. I just wanted to keep a record of them so that I could go back to them and look at them again later.

Gamifying Learning



Lately, I have been contemplating taking a more games-based approach to my math program. I came across this really great resources from the institute of play, and so I am hoping to use this to design some games to use next year. Another cool tool I read about is class badges- You can design and award badges to your class for their achievements. I can't wait to use that too!
