In addition, educators will apply gamification principles and best practice strategies for digital games in their teaching as exemplified by a unit they create as well as an educational digital game that they will design and plan. Educators will also advocate for the integration of gamification into other subjects within their educational organization. This course will benefit teachers and educators who are seeking to implement gamification and digital gaming to support P-12 student learning in their own classrooms and educational institutions.
