Summary
Students adjusting from in-person to remote back to in-person learning have struggled immensely.
Edtech can make learning more accessible and fun for students.
Benefits of gamification in education Do you remember that feeling back in school when you received a gold star on your worksheet? Or the time when your name went up on the classroom wall of fame? That feeling of being excited and even proud of our achievement is what we need to harness in order to make our students excited about their learning.
The learning environment created with the availability of gamification seems promising to the extent that students are capable of achieving more and absorbing more as compared to traditional learning methods.
E-learning has made different channels of education accessible to students who seem more eager to learn in a virtual social network.
The addition of simple gamification in education makes the learning process unique to each teacher or classroom while enhancing the competitiveness of students to perform better and achieve more.
