Gamification can turn the traditional classroom into a dynamic and immersive learning environment where students are not only more engaged but also empowered to take ownership of their learning journey. By leveraging the principles of game design such as leaderboards, badges, points, and rewards, educators can create memorable and impactful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, foster creativity, and promote academic success. This episode of EdTech Mondays explores the use of gamification in Africa's education systems.
