What is Gamification and How Can it Promote a Growth Mindset?

Your students are on a quest for knowledge and, as a teacher, you’re largely responsible for ensuring this quest is as engaging and fulfilling as possible. Gamification is a solid classroom solution that, when properly leveraged, can get students more involved with class content and help them understand that persistence garners classroom success.

Gamification uses gaming elements and mechanics in a nongame context—and it’s really simple to implement if you know where to start. It doesn’t require the expertise of a professional gamer or the creativity of an artist. You just have to be willing to approach your class content a little bit differently.
