I am fascinated by the process of gamificaiton. I enjoyed this particular TED Talk by Princeton dropout Seth Priebathsch since it goes into detailed stages of creating a game. My startup team is currently adding gaming features to our software, and this video me helped identify ways to do so.
Additionally, if you are interested in gamification here is a link to my previous post on the gamificaiton of education.
An interesting TED Talk made by the founder of Khan Academy. The subject of this presentation relates to my earlier post on the gamification of education.
Surprisingly, I have had great success using this topic when conversing with professors. They all seem very keen to add their own insights.
I have always been very interested in my concentration, game theory. However, I recently got introduced to the concept of gamification though TED talks online. Since then I have been trying to identify ways to make almost everything into a game.
Having spent over 20 years in the US educational system myself, I always thought there could be significant improvements made in the teaching methods. The link posted is to an article I that breaks down the key parts of gamificaiton and realistically applies each of them to our current education system.
Bonus: If you want a peek into gamefication and education in action, check out Khan Academy. This is a great resource to learn a wide array of school subjects.
For a similar concept, but with coding, check out Code Academy.
