Let the Games Begin: Bringing Gamification to the Conference and Classroom
This year’s national conference has been gamified. The games being played are more than just a way to bring fun and delight to the conference. They are a way to get attendees more involved with our online conference, which will hopefully bring about more interactions with each other and contribute to participants feeling more connected despite being online and not collected in a traditional conference space. Additionally, the games serve the purpose of putting educators in their students’ shoes. One of the biggest things teachers seem to be looking for when it comes to their classes, whether its online or offline, are ways to engage students with the lessons learned in class. By playing through the games being put on by the conference you can experience fun new ways of learning and engaging with materials. You will learn about the games in play at the conference and you will also learn how to put together something for your own students using Discord, Flipgrid, and Google Workspace applications such as Forms, Sites, and Slides.
