RE: Today’s lesson: What is Gamification all about?
This was very interesting to read and I appreciate your great description of the concept. TBH, gamification sounds a little ominous to me. It introduces a layer of distraction from the actual purpose or outcome of the work being done that could be magnified and exploited to get us to do things we might otherwise find distasteful. That could be dangerous.
That would imply that there is already enough attention given to the subject in question, so gamification would have no sense.
Gamification is useful when there is a need to increase engagement in the activities that are being done.
