Blog 3 Trends in Education: Game-Based Learning and Gamification

Hi Yixuan,

I 100% agree with you that game-based learning and gamification can make students learn actively in the class. It is true that when they are playing games in the class, they are actually experiencing the concept and the process of the knowledge. All these could activate them into deeper game levels to experience the knowledge. Especially in the early grade curriculum designs, it is more related to games, teachers would use manipulatives and electric devices to boost students’ learning interests. In higher grades, teachers can design traditional instruction and game experience reasonably to enhance students’ learning. All in all, I think your blog this week is so informative and useful in explaining the benefits of game-based learning and gamification.
