Gamification of Education
Social media is changing the way that people interact and learn the use of badges and achievements as rewards separate content into different levels & track their progress (i.e. angry birds)

provide content for students to share on social media sites (media or even the badge/achievement) surprise students with extra bonus rewards at the completion of various levels
