Some educators oppose gamification in the classroom. What do you think about the concept as described in the article?
I think gamification can be a great motivational tool in any classroom when used appropriately and taking into consideration the different learning styles and composition of the specific class. I have recently come across gamification of entire units as opposed to just specific lessons. Excited to play with that idea over the summer and see what I can come up with for next year.

Racing through desert dunes and steppes, avenues and lanes, it is like Need for Speed Carbon or Most Wanted, and actually the newest part, NFS: Rivals. On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a strong 8. List of features is almost mind-boggling, and so is its replayability. Outrunning the leaderboards trully entangles you and you're instantaneously drawn in. It trully reminds me of Asphalt Overdrive. Above all it's a great, ambitious free game. There are no pursuits with law enforcement, but maybe it's good though as multiplayer asphalt gameplay gives awesome occasion to prove your unsurpassed underground drag racing skills. On-screen immense velocity gives an illusion of actually being there and hurrying with top drivers as seen in TV. Stress rushes are numerous. It boasts really cutting-edge Artificial Inteligence and I'm playing it already nine times successively or so and it's still enjoyable and interesting. It's kinda cool to race and defeat other racers on six or so maps. Game feels similar to race with GT cars like race or asphalt.
