What is "Gamification of Education"?
We know we learn best when we are engaged and having fun. Our best teachers turned learning into games and that is exactly what software companies are creating today.
Check out the Gamification of Language Arts brought to you by Lego in the video below. At the Aurora School, our elementary students love Legos. With Lego StoryStarter, our students have more opportunities to expand their imagination and learn the essential elements of great stories at the same time.
