Want to have the classroom students are excited to go to? Want your students to reach their fullest potential all while having the time of their lives? Want your students to beg for extra work to do? Want students to go above and beyond to show their understanding of your classroom content? Then gamification is for you!
Thanks to Michael Matera I have successfully been gamifying my class for a year and a half! When I found out he was writing this book I knew I had to get it! Gamification truly works, and gets students invested in the learning process, and there is no better teacher you can learn about this subject from than Michael Matera! I've seen the amazing things he does with students on his Twitter feed, and you cannot doubt the impact gamification has played in his classroom. He teaches you that there are always new ways to up the level of gamification in your classroom. Whether you are a beginner to gamification or a veteran this book is for you! Michael keeps it simple in this book in the best way possible! He has created the most practical book on gamification I have ever seen. He makes this book quick and easy to read, and gives you a field guide to help you get started. I learned so many new mechanics that I can't wait to start incorporating in my gamified classroom. This is a book you can keep coming back to for inspiration and find new layers to add to your game for many years to come! I love that he gives you a "treasure chest" filled with challenges, items, side quests, and badge ideas! The best part about his ideas is that you can start implementing them immediately! I've already used his graffiti and mystery box challenges and students loved them!
If you are new to gamification absolutely read this book! You will not regret diving into the adventure, and better yet your students will thank you!
