Completing these badges was a tedious, yet rewarding task. I completed all of them closer to the beginning of the course rather than every week, so that could be why it seemed like a lot at the time. But each and every badge taught me something different that I didn't know! I think my favourite badge was the Gamification Badge, in fact I may even go through it again to relearn some information for my practicum this semester.
I love how the badges gave meaning to my learning. Which is why in my practicum, I want to add this element of Gamification to my classroom to make all my students invested in their learning! I think that having badges and quests gives students responsibility over their own learning and makes them intrinsically motivated to continue, even far beyond what is required of them. I would love to learn more about gamifying the classroom and I hope that my practicum gives me the practice I am looking for!
