Gamification is taking the learning process and making it more game-like.  It isn't teaching children how to game, or how to design them, but rather teaching in a way that allows the student to experience game-like situations while meeting their course standards.  Learners can earn rewards, collect points, level up, and compete with each other.  This could be a huge motivator for students!  Please consider the following links and infographic to learn more about gamification in the classroom.
