I think that this is too much for me to implement this year - may be switching grades for next year. I have been going through all of the info from Scott to try and get myself educated first! What do you all use to host your information? Do you use a specific platform for students to access? I'm so interested in this, but just don't know how to even start!

Hello adventurers! A thought crossed my mind today that I just want to toss out here for some discussion. If I were create a physical "Gamification Tool Kit" to help educators implement gamification with a set of ready to use tools/resources/consumables ... what would you like to see in it? What would be useful? Some basic ideas I have are: - A base set of reward and punishment cards - 1-2 Sets of TTRGP Dice (D4, D6, etc...) - A dice tower / dice rolling mat - A lock box, or equivalent - Scratch off foil papers - Timers - Physical tokens / items - Dry Erase Cards Of course it would go hand in hand with some activities, guides, written resources and so on. Always something I've wanted explore (in a preliminary fashion) so I figure, why not ask and see where it takes me? I look forward to the discussion! -Master Heebs ✒️

Let’s start a thread with different themes that could work for a gamified classroom. In the course, the example used is a medieval fantasy theme, but I’m curious what other themes people have used or are thinking about that could work across subjects and over a longer period of time. What themes have worked well for you, or what ideas are you playing around with?

Please understand, especially if you are an early joiner, that I am trying to build a very engaging and fun community. I am learning—more or less teaching myself—how to do all of this by creating graphics, apps, quizzes, puzzles, password-protected files, and so on. With all that in mind, there are bound to be an error or two. Posting them here will allow me to troubleshoot them ASAP so everything can run smoothly for everyone! Thanks! -Master Heebs ✒️

Well done, Apprentice! You've taken your first look at the 'invisible chains' that bind our young adventurers. It can be a sobering sight, can't it? Even a 60-second audit reveals just how much agency has been stolen. But now you see them. And seeing them is the first step to breaking them. After your reflection, what did you come up with? What 'chains' did you identify? Share your findings with the Guild below! ⤵️"
