Gamifying Your Classroom

The Basics

Deborah Healey talks about turning your classroom into a gaming environment. See this inspiring preview of Deborah’s upcoming talk ” Gamifying the Classroom: The Basics”, for the LTSIG Showcase, April 10th, Brighton.

Abstract Language teachers have long used games, but gamification – the use of game elements in non-game settings – is a more recent concept. This workshop will give a brief overview of gamification, then help teachers identify and prepare ways to use gamification in their own classrooms. If possible, bring a syllabus for a class you want to gamify.
