Welcome! Your First Quest: Create Your Character! 🫅🏻
Welcome to the Guild, my Apprentice Gamification Teachers 👩🏻‍🏫 I'm Scott Hebert and I am thrilled you've joined our growing gamification guild! This community is all about one mission: turning your classroom into an engaging adventure that students love (and that makes your life way easier). In order to help you I will be sharing resources, templates, books, apps, live QnA sessions, activities and so much more! But before we dive into battling the "Final Boss of Disengagement," we need to get to know our fellow adventurers! ‼️YOUR FIRST QUEST ‼️ To earn your first bit of "XP" and start leveling up, complete your "Character Sheet" in the comments below! Just copy and paste this template: -- 👤 Your Name: (Preferred name) 🎭 Your Alias: (Gamer tag or nickname) 🎓 Your "Class": (Subject/Grade) 🎯 Your "Main Quest": (What's the #1 thing you want to learn here?) 🎮 Your All-Time Favorite Game: (Video game, board game, card game... anything!) -- I'll go first to break the ice! 👤 Your Name: Scott Hebert 🎭 Your Alias: Master Heebs 🎓 Your "Class": Grade 7-8 Science, Social and Technology 🎯 Your "Main Quest": Build connections and give you the exact tools to battle classroom boredom. 🎮 Your All-Time Favorite Game: Diablo and Red Dead Redemption. I love those open world RPGs. Don't be shy! This is the best way to meet your fellow party members. Hit "comment," post your character sheet, and let's start this quest towards the great battle against the monster that is classroom boredom together! Scott Hebert AKA: Master Heebs
Module #5 - Team Dynamics 🤼
Adventurer, You learned about how team dynamics and the costs that accompany them! Based on that, here are to questions for you to consider! (1) Master Heebs warns us of the three costs of a shared quest: The Coordination Toll (logistics/energy), The Motivation Toll (sloths/dominators), and The Intellectual Toll (conformity/groupthink). Which of these three tolls do you find is the most "expensive" or difficult to manage in your own classroom guilds, and what is your favorite strategy to overcome it? AND (2) At the end of our latest encounter, Master Heebs calls designing effective group work a "rebellion" against the scholars who worship independent toil. Have you ever faced resistance—from administration, parents, or even the students themselves—when implementing group quests? How do you convince the "ivory tower" that we are stronger together?
Looking for all the info!
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!
Strategies to Manage all the Elements
One of my biggest struggles with gamificatuon is keeping track of all the numbers... the XP, the leaderboard/levels, the health, the resources, the cards etc etc. Right now I'm relying on student honesty and for them to track their own health, money etc, and I'm keeping track of other aspects on a spreadsheet. I would love to hear any strategies you've found that work well for keeping track of everything and any ideas you have on automating it!
