The teacher can track all this activity in Classcraft, or, as in Young s case, the kids can use their laptops to interact with it in real-time.
The history teacher Ricardo Higuera teaches seventh grade world history in a rural corner of Southern California called Thermal.
So far, Higuera is the only teacher in his school to try Classcraft. Some of the other staff are unsure of
depends on how it s used by the teacher, said Higuera. Like role-playing games of old, the game depends a lot on the Game Master.
but many teachers using Classcraft are reporting success. We have some really surprising statistics, says Young.
We have teachers saying their class averages have gone up 20,25 percent in the months following implementing Classcraft.
I spoke to Frank Noschese, a high school physics teacher from Cross River N y.,who has a different take on gamifying the classroom.
Noschese thinks that teachers can make classway more engaging without turning it into a game.
Any teacher that s willing to try something new or change their craft is great.
That poses, for some teachers, a certain ethical dilemma of do they want to bring a product into their class that is soliciting kids to spend money?
So, for teachers and schools who aren t happy with that principle, Classcraft will have a premium version charged at a rate of $4 per student per year.
but it will be the teachers who hold the keys to the gold. There will still be a free version of Classcraft without microtransactions available come September,
For me, it was important that teachers hop on and just start playing whenever they wanted.
We have teachers playing Classcraft in China and India and Namibia. A lot of these premium education products are only available in the U s. and Canada.
That a teacher who wanted to start playing just could. The freemium reality For Higuera, the free-to-play
Not enough of our teachers would use it to make it viable. And I doubt I could afford to pay out of my own pocket.
The ios app due in September will enable the whole system to run on a teacher s ipad
And the free-to-play business model will permit any teacher, in any country, to jump into the game, regardless of school budgets.
