I’ve launched a new site called Gamifying Education (GamifyingEducation.org). It’s a website with articles, scholarly papers, useful tools, and other resources related to gamification — the use of game-like thinking and elements in places that aren’t traditionally games. GamifyingEducation.org also features social networking features, a forum, and other valuable features. On the site you can also find out more information about our research project entitled Scholar’s Quest — an exciting project that explores the impact of game-like thinking to both K12 and Higher Education settings. Join in on the conversation and create an account!
GameProf.com is the blog of Dr. Joey J. Lee, Assistant Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University. Lee designs games and creates experiences that address social issues, help people learn, and promote real-world impact, including Scholars Quest, which turns higher education into a more structured, collaborative experience, and Science City Heroes, which explore how game mechanics can get students in urban New York City middle schools more interested in science. This site provides information and resources about his teaching and research.
