Blog # 10 Gamification

 I have some experience in my previous study of engaging games in learning, like by dancing with attached names for the gamers to memorize English words. This way make the memory work so interesting without feeling dull or boring.

Latter on, after I became an English teacher, I seemed to forget this interesting way of teaching. AS most of my teaching time, I am busy with catching up with the curriculum set by the school board. This results in two problems, one is that the study who are under the teacher centered way of teaching feel low level of participation, contributing to low interest in study. The second is for the teachers, I, as one of those, do not feel the beauty of teaching.

The use of gamification in education, not matter what the subjects are, as long as the teachers are keen to adopt this way, they may find proper way of conducting it. There are may be some shifted focus from the knowledge the students are supposed to learn, but the well designed way of games is quite huge motivation for both the teachers and the students.
