EdTech Talks Podcast, Episode 5 Constructivism: Gamification, Community, Engagement

Can wizards and warriors help teachers teach? Thanks to the magic of gamification, they can!

Sven Heckele is an unusually creative English teacher based in Rottweil, Germany. With a school policy that discourages giving homework, Sven came up with a truly original way to get his students to learn all on their own. Gamifying his English lessons has not just improved his students’ language skills but also gotten them excited about learning itself. And isn’t that just the kind of teachers we need?

“If I ask a question someone can Google the answer to in three seconds, maybe I’m asking the wrong question.”

– Sven Heckele
