Speaker 1: I did a gamified course last year. I did it this year because COVID had too many variables and I thought, let's just get the basics together for this year. But the gamified course last year, I'm sad I couldn't do it this year, but it will be back. So I created an optional Schoology course. So students could, it had no connection to their grade whatsoever. It allowed me to put all students from all sections into that course if they wanted to. I made like a digital breakout basically that gave them the code to get into that course if they wanted to. So there was a competitive nature to it. And then I would have those, I had a huge, that was before y'all had assessments and it was tests and quizzes. So I had a big quiz question bank that I could pull random questions from, which I kind of wish was in the assessment tool right now, to just have a big bank and be able to pull random questions. Because I would have, as we were reading, students could go and do that and they could earn XPs. And then there was a leaderboard that I made with the XPs through a Google spreadsheet that I embedded. My phone just woke up because I said the G word. Oh my gosh. But it happens to me all the time. But they could then compete in these reading quizzes and get more points. And then I added grammar and mechanics quizzes. And then I thought, oh, well, I'll give them XPs if they do a piece of writing and enter a writing contest. So by the end of the year, it was this giant game that they could play. I linked it to our school, which is the Panthers, the Presbyterian school or the Panthers. It was prowling the forest and how far into the forest you could get. Super dorky, but really fun. And we had prizes they could turn in their XPs for. So some of the prizes were like a snack bag. So one boy, every time he got 100 XPs, he came up and got snacks for me. Others times it was goodie bags and there'd be like a Bob Ross puzzle or something that I found at the dollar store. And kids would donate stuff to the bags, parents would. And sometimes it was you can listen to headphones in class for this trimester if you want. Or you get a free hint on a test. You can raise your hand and turn it in. So it was great. And it's basically just incentivized students to do extension activities. And they went nuts with it. Really enjoyed it. Some kids just wanted to be at the top of the leaderboard. So they never turned in their XPs for anything. They just want to crush the souls of their enemies. And other students wanted to just get those prizes or were saving it up. One of the big prizes was you could round up at the end of the trimester. So if you were at 89, you could round up to 90. And the amount of work that they put in to do that really meant that they never had to use it. Yeah, totally. Because they were accidentally learning. So that was a benefit of Schoology that I can't wait to get back to after this pandemic. Is at least, I don't know if it's ever going to be over. But as soon as we've sort of righted the ship and calibrated to whenever reality we end up in. Exactly. That is so awesome. I've actually never heard of anything like that. Sure, I stole it. The system, yeah. Innovating.
