Praise for this book
Walk into Matthew Farber's middle school classroom and you'll meet students who consider themselves beta testers of innovative learning experiences. You'll see an inspired teacher who understands how to combine cutting-edge game mechanics with instructional strategies like project-based learning. I haven't had the pleasure of that classroom visit just yet, but reading 'Gamify Your Classroom' is the next best thing. Farber, as author, shares his own journey into understanding the power of games for learning. He invites readers along as he interviews experts and learns from those on the frontiers of this exciting space. Then he brings us back to the magic circle of the classroom, where games create teachable moments for engaged, inspired learners.

'Gamify Your Classroom' is a clear-headed dissection of the semantic muddle and self-serving hype surrounding game-based learning and gamification. Meticulously researched and featuring insights from a host of educators and game designers, as well as his own enthusiastic adventures in the classroom, Matthew Farber's book is an impressive primer, revealing what works and what doesn't out here on education's exciting new frontier.
