Gamifying Your Classroom – An Interview with Beth Box

March 29, 2016 By Rosie Filed Under: Featured, Gamification, Integrating Technology, Lesson Ideas, Schoology, Teachers Who Rivet

I’m so excited to bring you this month’s “Teachers Who Rivet” segment for two reasons.

Reason number one, Beth, who you are about to meet, is going to tell you how she went from 30% participation in class to 100% through gamification. If you don’t know what gamification is already, get ready, because this is something I think we’re going to be hearing a lot about in the next few years.

The second reason I’m so excited for this interview is because this is my first “long distance” interview! Beth is in Florida, and I’m here in Pennsylvania. We connected through Schoology and email, and now this interview will be brought to you through Skype. Enjoy!
