MY PORTFOLIO IN GAMIFICAMOOC

Next, I am presenting the PROMOTING VIDEO to hook participants to play the gamification project I designed. This is the extra challenge in Level 5. I hope you dare to start playing it. It's been a great pleasure learning from all of you. See you soon! I desire you best in the current situation we are living due to the pandemic caused by the coronavirus. I hope we can cope with it really soon.

WOW! After many hours learning, thinking and working, at last, the final product!!! What I am presenting next is the SAINT GEORGE ESCAPE CLASSROOM . It is addressed to pupils in Primary 5 and 6. These are kids who love playing and learning and who have a really good level of English at their age. They love discovering new things and ways of learning and doing challenges in the English Classes. These were the main reasons why I started thinking about preparing this Escape Room. I am sure they will be really motivated doing it because, moreover, it has been designed contextualized to their area of living. So, they will recognize plenty of the things that appear. And... as we are really close to St. George festivity, I decided to choose this topic. Moreover, due to our situation, now we haven't got any more option than working at home; so, they will have a ball at home playing and learning! To guess the main objectives of this Edubreakout... look at the following PowToon present...

Here I have tried to do my extra challenge with the tutorial on how to create online badges . I present the tutorial using the  Screencast-o-matic  . I have found this tool an excellent resource to do tutorials based on the capture of the screen laptop to do things step by step. I really think that, as teachers,  it can be a powerful tool to guide our pupils to explain them how to use different Apps, in case of doubts, these days that they are working at home.  It is really easy and intuitive. Moreover, it is free and you do not even need to subscribe or create any account in their website. Awesome! Have a ball with the tutorial! Sorry for my voice. These days I am having a terrible throat ache. Hope you like it! A pleasure sharing it! See you soon!

In this level, we have been asked for creating a component for our games and justify it. I have created 5 components. I remind you, that theses components will be used to continue building up the challenges for the Escape Classroom. However, before creating things, first I went through some theoretical points about MDA (Mechanics, Dynamics & Aestethics)  and I want to keep these interesting articles in my mind, because I think they will be useful for the next step. - About the keys to create educative games: http://aula.virtual.ucv.cl/wordpress/claves-para-crear-juegos-educativos/ - About the importance of using badges in learning to motivate pupils: http://www.facultyfocus.com/articles/teaching-with-technology-articles/using-badges-classroom-motivate-learning/ Then, before starting to create the components, I stopped and I started thinking about this: SOURCE from:  https://create.piktochart.com/output/5398495-el-juego-en-el-aula And finally, the compo...
