 Gamification: Is is just another fad?

         Gaming has been around for quite some time now and I believe it is evolving into what it can bring to the table for learning. When most people think of gamification they think of video games. Gamification is far more than just video games though, gamification is new and creative way of learning. I believe that gamification draws the students to want to learn more. As everyone knows children love technology and if we can use gamification in an educational environment than it can be greatly beneficial. Gamifiction is an interactive way to help students want to learn and grasp the concepts. This technology provides immediate feed back which is great for children of all ages. Gamification can change children's attitudes towards wanting to learn. They will be more engaged on the subjects they are learning about. Gamification is also beneficial for children with disabilities such as ADHD. It helps keeps them focus and on task. Gamification motivates students to do better so they can receive rewards that the games provide.I do not believe that gamification is just another fad, I think it is just the beginning of what gamification has to offer.
