Jon Cassie and Tim Handley discuss the benefits of gamified instruction for all learners.

Jon Cassie speaks with Mike Irwin about his experiences gamifying lessons in a Detroit charter school. They discuss achievements, how students in class achieved victories in their learning and data on their assessment of their learning experience.

I am joined by Rahul Kanojia of Rogue Robot Studios on this episode of Game Level Learn. Rahul is a game designer and educational gamifier working hard to bring the benefits of gamified instruction to classrooms in his home base of Arizona and to the rest of the world.
