Level Up Your Classroom with Gamification
Wednesday May 27, 2026 2:30pm - 4:00pm CDT
Room 313
Stop just playing games and start designing experiences! This session moves beyond standard review games like Jeopardy to explore true gamification—applying game mechanics as an immersive layer over your existing curriculum.
In this session, you will learn to:

  • Build Your World: Define your game's Theme and Setting to create a narrative that hooks students.
  • Master the Mechanics: Implement XP (Experience Points), Items that unlock privileges, and Badges to showcase student achievements.
  • Design Missions: Create Boss Battles for collaborative review and optional Side Quests
