Game it now – gamification and game designing – training for classroom and subject teachers
The gamification and game design training offers teachers new ways to teach transversal competences according to the curriculum guidelines and support the implementation of new kinds of multidisciplinary learning modules, the student’s active role and study motivation.
The participants will familiarize with gamification and game design in a versatile way and learn how to utilize them in a multidisciplinary, cross curricular way. The topic will be discussed with and without digital devices – by experimenting and making games. At the same time the training provides an example of a gamified training program and offers many ideas in how to make use of gamification and game design in the participants’ own teaching.
