Play with Purpose by @Samia-mhad18

Hi Ms. Samia! Allow me to post some feedback about your submission on gamification category. The best element of your submission and activities with your students is simplicity. It was such a delightful view to see how you successfully blended the struggles/challenges that your students facing in learning English, with the fact how fast they learn and master with controlling video games. Nothing will speed up the enthusiasm and excitement for students to learn than the ability to control and decide they feel will bring them closer to a winning spot.

You also share the benefits or perhaps, the advantages of each apps you use with your students. The four apps you introduced and explained on the video are very helpful for other educators who might are looking for alternatives to insert or conduct gamification in their classes. So, thank you for that!

The activities are also being broken down into easy steps that everyone could implement right-away. Again, the simplicity element in gamification activity is sometimes easier said than done, however you have implemented it elegantly. I love the honesty your students shared about their experience after one term doing gamification with you. Also, on your video, you actually mentioned something that could be overlooked by educators when they are about to design a gamification: focus on one skill each month. This is actually very crucial since gamification at times (especially with older students) would bring in several expected skills or contexts or sub-topics into its session, in which might deter the valuable objective of the activity. Thank you for such reminder that it is important to achieve one skill from the gamification session than just throwing several for students to master which could make them unfocused.

I hope you will keep inspiring others to implement gamification activity in their classes, and I also hope you will keep creating interactive and fun learning sessions with your students. All the best, Ms Samia!

Kind regards,

Hendra

@HAZAR0c50a82765 Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. It can be pretty challenging to find the most suitable idea or activity for gamification for the older students. They are not only looking for the fun but the technicality that can challenge their thinking process. It should be simple to learn but challenging to master.

I hope that I can find more ideas to bring gamification into learning with my students.

@Samia-mhad18 thank you so much for such encouraging feedback, I am working on online games integrations since 2020 this was my research consent as well I have performed experimental studies in different school, I have published my research article on this as well.

@Oojala-Tasneem Thank you so much for your feedback, Ms! It had become my focus to find activity where my students (in business finance) would see the consequences of their analysis and decisions in real time. I am just glad that they could feel it from one round to another.

Yes, thank you for pointing that out, I actually have the same thoughts, that it should be accompanied by more classroom footage rather than just still images. I will keep that in mind! Thank you and have a good one!

@Moham323d135850
Much appreciated

@Nawres-Alabed I want to appreciate your idea about learning history technically.i t's true that students usually shy away from history and dates, but you have done an excellent job of motivating them by using gamification along with a strong historical point of view. Your project also showed great coordination with the students in the classroom. It's really appreciated.

@Samia-mhad18 hello dear samia. I want to share about your project something that you deserve.This is a wonderful project! Using games to teach both English and emotions is a smart and fun idea. It really helps students learn better and enjoy more. Best of luck

Feedback for Mr. @Hendra Senjoya’s Submission – “Gamification: Blending Boardgames into Lessons”

Innovative Concept: Your focus on integrating board games into classroom learning is creative and aligns well with modern pedagogical strategies. Gamification can significantly boost student engagement and make abstract concepts more tangible.

Collaborative Learning: Highlighting open-ended consequences and social competence through discussions is a strong point. This approach fosters critical thinking and teamwork, which are essential 21st-century skills.

Clear Intentions: Your work introduction effectively communicates the goal of inspiring fellow educators to explore gamification further. The emphasis on "ship-based games" (assuming this refers to game mechanics like progression or journeys) adds a unique twist.

Overall Impression: Your submission is thought-provoking and clearly passionate about rethinking traditional teaching methods. With minor refinements, it could serve as a standout model for gamified learning. Well done!

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5) – Strong potential with slight polishing.

Dear Ms. Hazar,
@HAZAR0c50a82765

Your project beautifully bridges art and technology, showing how digital tools can unlock students' creativity. The way they transform everyday objects into abstract art feels like magic—you can almost see their confidence grow with each edit.

What I love most is how human feels about this tech-driven project. The shared Padlet gallery and reflections turn individual work into a community experience, full of those "aha" moments when students realize their own potential.

You're not just teaching digital skills—you're helping young minds discover new ways to express themselves. That's the heart of great teaching.

Warm regards,

@Denis-Kudaimetov , Hello Sir, I would like to appreciate you for your outstanding work in collaborating your students with three different countries. Being a teacher, I can understand how much time and developmental plans you have to carried out for accomplishing your targets of different time periods. I really enjoy the part of online game with teachers using padlock.
Furthermore, I must say that this initiative definitely builds global communication, team work and digital skills amongst the students. Looking forward to learn from you in future as well. My best wishes for your project.

@Zakiasoomro

I really like Zakia Soomro project

She led a groundbreaking initiative that taught the factorization of algebraic expressions through AI tools, showcasing how affordable resources could improve math education.

By incorporating these user-friendly technologies into her lessons, she not only made complex algebra concepts easier but also sparked students' enthusiasm for AI applications.

Her method effectively connected conventional mathematics with contemporary technology, demonstrating AI's worth in education even in resource-poor environments while providing students with skills for the future.
Best of Luck Zakia
Thanks samia it means alot

Hi @Syakt513fd9bea8
I want to highlight your project as a creative and culturally grounded approach to teaching physics. You have developed a method that combines smartphone technology with traditional musical instruments to enhance physics lessons. Encourages active participation, allowing students to observe physics principles.
A great example of interdisciplinary teaching, could be even stronger with assessment data showing student learning improvements.
Best of luck

@Syakt513fd9bea8
Thank you so much dear educator for understanding my message in a very deep way.. Actually facilitated is always remained facilitated. As education is the right of every child, that's why I focus on that region's students who even always feel uncomfortable for taking step towards new plans of studies because of their lack of resources. I thought to encourage them, first their motivation towards the new technology is important. For that, they have to be comfortable to use it when no teacher is with them and they need quick guidance regarding any query.

@HAZAR0c50a82765 .
Dear Hazar, Its good to see your art project work with students. You have guided students in exploring visual creativity by transitioning from realistic art to digital imagination. Your creativity really shines through this piece. Best of luck.

To complement Faiza's project, a powerful idea would be creating storytelling labs where students use the vocabulary they’ve learned in games to build and perform their own stories. These labs could include co-writing short narratives, roleplaying scenes, or even recording mini podcasts—all centered on the new vocabulary. With AI tools giving real-time feedback and suggestions, students not only reinforce their word knowledge but also practice using it creatively in context. This approach adds expressive, collaborative layers to Faiza’s immersive simulations, making vocabulary learning even more dynamic and memorable.

@ateeque-soomro
Dear Brother Ateeque
In a dynamic multi-grade classroom, numbers leap off the pages as children tackle real-world math problems that spark their curiosity and creativity. Instead of traditional rote learning, students of all ages work together, drawing on their respective strengths to solve challenges rooted in everyday experiences like landscaping a garden, budgeting for a school event, or taking measurements for a creative project. These authentic contexts make math meaningful and engaging, transforming lessons into a dynamic journey where older students become mentors, younger students gain confidence, and everyone learns the value of collaboration and leadership. In this environment, math becomes more than just a subject, but a shared adventure that connects ideas, skills, and people.
