Gamification is applying game design thinking to non-game applications to make them more fun and engaging. It uses game mechanics, aesthetics, and thinking to motivate people and promote learning. Common gamification elements include incentives, badges, points, discounts, and feedback. Games provide flow, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and an engaging learning curve. Gamification can teach skills, engage learners, help with weight loss and physical therapy. It applies to different domains of learning. Benefits include increased engagement, personalized learning, and helping less communicative students. Concerns include potential for increased violence, forgetting skills, and lack of textbook learning. Gamification works best when the focus is on having fun while learning.

9. OTHER COMPONENTS OF GAMIFICATION

10. CURVE OF INTEREST
The interest curve within a game is the flow and the
sequence of events holds and grabs players attention and
extends the concept throughout the entire experience.
Games are designed to take initial interest and rise it to an
other level. When the game is over the learner leaves the
interest with some interest left over and with the knowledge
is gained by the carefully sequenced instruction.

15. BENEFITS FROM MY EXPERIENCE
In today’s world the more comfortable a child is with technology the
better equipped he/she will stay on the top of it.
Educational games definitely increases students engagement.
Personalize instruction, better assess knowledge and collect
helpful information needed to improve their knowledge.
Children are less likely to develop attention problem in school and
very useful for the children who are less communicative in class
which I have experienced during virtual classes on Edmodo in
which students were exposed to numerous games by me.

16. CONCERNS IN GENERAL
Violence in video games can contribute to social behavior problems.
The students are likely to forget the skills learnt in the games when we test
them later.
The student’s learning necessity like thorough reading of the text book is
not prioritized if introduced to games.
Parents will never want their children spending more time on games at
school.
It is difficult for the teachers to monitor each child in a stipulated time.
Number one barrier is funding. School have to spend huge amount and
not every school can access to teaching resources.
