My TPACK Teacher Game

My TPACK Teacher Game has allowed to me gain my knowledge collectively while providing an incentive for myself as a student to continue obtaining badges to complete the Teacher Quest. This is an important method that could be used in the classroom as society itself is moving towards an era of Gamification.  Gamification deals with the idea of allowing individuals to work toward a goal through a number of steps (points/badges) in order to see a result (reward). Individuals are being rewarded for moving along the right path in order to gain points or physical bonuses (ie. badges) to continue moving forward. Gamifying teaching is an important part within the classroom as it provides students an incentive to continue to learn and to develop towards a long term goal.
