gamification

Gamification in Education: What, How, Why Bother?

When words like “Play”, “Games”, “Missions” and “Fun” are used in front of students, they inmediately show more energy in them.

And this is the reason developers and educators are looking into gamifying the process of learning through a variety of new techniques using technology.

The 21st century education requires the students to engage, recognize their interests, know what to learn and create a self learner attitude.

VIDEO FOR ALL

Video for ALL is the European project http://videoforall.eu/ that will bring together all current methodologies, ideas and innovative practices to teach and learn languages by integrating digital video. The project believes that video must be a basic tool for a more multidisciplinary approach to language teaching and learning in today’s world. The project will build accessibility to allow educators to understand which practices could be used by: 

• Age of students (primary, secondary, university, adult learners)
• CEFR levels (A1-C2)
• Type of usage (inside/outside the classroom, Internet, hand-held cameras, screen capture tools, etc.)  

Video for ALL will create an In-service teacher training course for teachers to learn how to use video as a basic tool for language teaching as well as to understand the pedagogic value and learning theory of its use.
