Beyond the Worksheet: Playsheets, GBL, and Gamification

Beyond the Worksheet: Playsheets, GBL, and Gamification | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
Game-based learning (GBL) and gamification are hot topics in education. These terms are often used interchangeably, but they actually describe different phenomena. GBL is when students play games to
Manuel Garcia's curator insight, June 1, 2023 1:58 PM
Game-based learning (GBL) and gamification are different concepts. GBL involves using games for learning purposes, while gamification applies game elements to non-game situations. Playsheets, which fall between GBL and gamification, are games that allow students to practice concepts learned in class by transforming worksheet content into play. They offer benefits such as increased engagement, immediate feedback, clear progress indicators, celebration of success, and self-grading, but should be used in moderation alongside other engaging activities, projects, and discussions.

Wizer.me has an amazing group of task that offer automatic feedback to the student to encourage them to correct their mistakes and learn about topic. Also, Wizer.me uses an enjoyable and a usable web page due to every task edition is intuitive. On each task edition, you just need to follow the icons and save your work every time you design a task. Finally, you can receive automatic information about your student performance and the number of point they got on the tasks. I recommend this tool for every teacher of every subject. @dmu23
