Summary

Gamification has become a go-to learning method in the classroom because of the power it holds to help keep students engaged at all levels.

One of the major benefits of using gamification within the classroom is how it helps motivate your students to want to learn, thereby boosting engagement.

Gamification helps create a sense of achievement for students which, in the end, boosts their motivation to keep going and to keep learning.

Plus, with gamification bringing a sense of familiarity to students, their confidence is boosted, and they feel more in control of their learning journeys.

Perhaps one of the most important factors related to gamification in the classroom is its ability to help students conquer the feeling of shame and embarrassment when they run into failure.

Gamification creates an environment where failure is not only acceptable but also fun! Why? Because students get to try again or replay a particular level, just like in a video game.

Are you wondering where to begin when it comes to incorporating gamified learning into your classroom? We offer several gamified learning programs that cover mathematics and literacy to support your students on their learning journeys.
