It’s not official yet, because there are some formalities to be done, but I can share the announcement and celebrate publicly. I’m a Pionear! Yes, with the -ea- which comes from Nearpod. I have been the one with -ee- since first grade, but that’s a long story for a different kind of article. The Network …

I first learned about Pixton some two years ago, in a dyslexia-related course, as one of the alternatives to the classic pen-and-paper assignments. After a few months of casually using it, I decided to get the annual subscription, but terminated it within a year. I just had too many subscriptions…

I started the session with the upgraded premium account and a strong intention to make the most of it. I spend a lot of time coming up with the map of the quests and the plan on how to make them work with all levels. The story mode hadn’t been…

My students cheat. Not all of them, but some do. I have even introduced a universal power in Classcraft that allows the students to ‘copy an answer from a teammate’ for one crystal. — I cheated when I was a student. Not all the time, but I did. The process of creating a cheat sheet unintentionally transmuted itself into studying and revision so that I rarely had to use whatever I created.

Although most students did not complete the fourth quest, and only some completed the third one, I found a lot of optimism about this new revamped Classcraft. — First, unrelated to the Chapter 4 content, I love the list upgrade. The dashboard makes it now easy to see the rankings of students by all the values: XP, health, gold, level. This makes my tabular mind peaceful and quick to decipher what’s going on in the class. We can…

Character Classes Finally! They could become heroes with specialized powers. When the teacher invites the students to choose character classes, the students have to do it. They cannot do it ‘later’ or continue with the quest. …

The second two weeks in our Classcraft adventure have given me extremely motivated and self-driven students. — What confused me in the first two weeks was improved by developers: The progression bar evolved and is now more meaningful to students, as well as me. It contains the overall Experience Points (XP) count for the whole class. This gives the students the idea how close or far they…

I have been so excited to start using the new ClassCraft for my junior (11–13) classes. I am teaching the two advanced levels this term. The students are quite proficient not just in their language use, but their learning attitudes. Introduction: Before we started The two groups (Wednesday & Saturday) were both positive about…
