GAMIFICATION
Gamification?
The process of using game thinking
and game mechanics to solve
problems and engage users.
- Gabe Zichermann

In Learning Terms, Gamifying Means
Turning the class content and the way students
learn into a game with a rewards system, quests,
experience levels, and healthy competition
http://www.mrdaley.com/wordpress/2011/07/27/education-levels-up-a-newbs-guide-to-gamifying-your-classroom/
Is
NOTHING
New!
Game Mechanics?
Constructs of rules and
feedback loops intended to
produce enjoyable gameplay.
Building blocks that can be
applied and combined to
gamify any non-game context.

A hands-on political simulation that
gives players the opportunity to explore
the connectedness of the global
community through the lens of the
economic, social, and environmental
crises and the imminent threat of war.
The goal of the game is to extricate
each country from dangerous
circumstances and achieve global
prosperity with the least amount of
military intervention. As nation teams,
students will gain greater understanding
of the critical impact of information and
how it is used.
