  1. Gamifying the Classroom with Online Platforms Prepared by Johansen Quijano, PhD. for Connections Week Fall 2017 Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus

  2. WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY? • Discuss the benefits of gamifying classroom activities. • Look at ludic platforms (Kahoot, Socrative, Quizlet). • Play games. • Create gamified reviews.

  3. WHAT IS GAMIFICATION? • Gamification – The application of typical elements of game playing, such as scoring, competitions, and rules of play, to other areas of activity (Jane McGonigal, 2011).

  4. WHY GAMIFY? • Aids cognitive development. • Boosts enthusiasm. • Simplifies engagement. • Reduces tedious tasks. • Allows students to track their progress. • Gives students autonomy. • Offers instant feedback. • Can be applied to most learning needs.

  5. LET’S LOOK AT THREE PLATFORMS • Kahoot – Great for fostering competition through classroom reviews. Most of the action happens on the teacher’s screen. • Quizlet – Flash-cards generator. Great for self-paced reviews. • Socrative – Similar to Kahoot, with added data tools. Most of the action happens on the students’ screens.

  6. WHAT ARE THESE PLATFORMS GOOD FOR? • Sparks interest at the beginning of a topic. • Can be used as formative assessment. • Allows students a break from more formal classroom lessons. • Fosters engagement. • Students can engage in hands-on learning by making their own quizzes for their peers.
