Gamification in the Classroom and Around the World

By: Jennifer Gibbs October 4th, 2024

Over the past few years, Gamification has undoubtedly become a buzzword echoed through the hallways in the world of education. The opportunities to enhance learner success is magnified through incorporating the concept of gamification into curriculum and lessons. Gamification is a door opener for students learning not only in the traditional brick and mortar settings, but also in the virtual arena. At Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, we utilize gamification not only to enhance student learning, but also to allow the student to connect to learning in a way that is relatable. For many learners today, gaming and video games are an integral part of their daily lives. It is something that they can relate to, and sometimes connect with better than traditional style learning. Gamification in education is becoming a popular trend that educators can use to connect with their students, and still meet educational standards that align with their class goals.
