What Critics Don’t Understand About Gamified Education
Critics of gamified education always seem to miss some major points:
- Gamified education is much more than making mundane activities like work and study fun
- What makes a game fun is constant learning
- Not all gamified activities are fun, but they’re engaging
- Gamified education is the best way to leverage our new technologies to gain the necessary skills and knowledge in the information age
Gamified education should be advocated for its most practical reason: It’s the best method we know on how to organize learning environments to increase knowledge in both diversity and density. Gamified education is not merely an improvement from the current traditional educational model; it’s a completely new innovative way of learning.
