We’ve Come A Long Way

"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.“

~Horace Mann

What is Gamification?

“Gamification is the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to solve problems

Gamification

• Teacher goes from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side”

Why Gamification?

“People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why

we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar

Dr Wayne Holmes, Zondle’s head of Education, became convinced of

the pedagogical benefits of gamification while conducting

research for his PhD in Education at Oxford University.
