“Classroom Game Design“, a TEDx video presented by Paul Andersen, suggests an interesting idea for organizing your classroom. Â Why not leverage the fascination that many youngsters today have with gaming by making your own classroom a video game? Â Have your students earn Experience Points to “level up” and gain new freedoms (and responsibilities) in the classroom. Â This is an idea that does not even require any technology in your classroom – just a willingness to motivate your students using a language they understand very well.
