Oh for Heaven’s sake! How did I miss this??

The pics below are taken from my implementation of my Renewable vs. Nonrenewable Energy Resource lesson, which was created as a part of my Kenan Fellowship.

The twist – I have gamified my classroom. This was not a part of my Kenan Fellowship, but rather a strategy I learned from another Kenan Fellow during an offline session. Networking has really helped me learn and integrate new ideas in my classroom!

This pic documents one class determining our world rules.

I used all four classes as my focus group, then we narrowed down our rules.

This pic shows one of my “shy” students presenting her research to a sixth grade science class!

Overall, I have found gamification to be an intrinsically motivating way for students to learn.

Networking – a perk of Kenan!
