Turn Life into a Video Game with HabitRPG

fivecentwisdom:

So I just found this and I think it’s a great tool for students that struggle with routine but like video games. You can create your own “daily quests,” “habits,” and “to-dos.” There’s a rewards section where you can then use the returns from these “quests” to buy presents for yourself.

I think this is great for both specific classes and mainstream students as well as special education.

Kinda fun, maybe?

Great for any and every history class.  This one map can answer many questions as to why we are here and the first real attempt at forced globalization.

For the History classroom.

Young teachers from across the United States have told me they no longer have the ability to properly manage classrooms, not because of lack of training, not because of lack of ability, not because of lack of desire, but because of upper administration decisions to reduce statistics on classroom referrals and in-school and out-of-school suspensions. As any classroom teacher can tell you, when the students know there will be no repercussions for their actions, there will be no change in their behavior. When there is no change in their behavior, other students will have a more difficult time learning.

Read the whole article. Increasingly relevant to Aus and quite reflective of a number of frustrations I feel.
