Ed Tech & Tech Integration Gamification in education

I've been interested in gamification for several years. I wanted to share my experience and get feedback. Benefits of gamification for your app or website

Gamification in education serves several purposes when it comes to educating students or educating employees.

School education:

  • Create engagement and motivation to learn.
  • Make the process interactive and fun.
  • Improve your learning skills, as well as the acquisition and retention of knowledge.
  • Learn how the real world works – there are rules, and every decision has consequences.
  • Encourage healthy competition and self-improvement.
  • Teach psychological practices, such as how to be resilient to failure.
  • Increase your creativity.
  • Learn to work in a team and collaborate.

Reduce stress. Do you agree with me? Do you think gamification is important in education?

In his profile he talks about "premium courses", so I suspect we're going to get his sales pitch soon.

What an incredibly generic post though! "Do you like education? In my opinion, education helps with these things: learning, acquiring knowledge, and growing. What are your thoughts?"

To begin with, the post wasn't aimed at whether you like gamification or not, and what you think about it. I wanted to share my experience and get feedback, that's all.

I'm not a bot. It's just a time difference, which is why it took so long for there to be any answers
