In this episode of Board Gaming with Education, Dustin and Alex talk about their experiences using games, game-based learning, and gamification in their classrooms. Over the past six years, Alex Krempely has taught various Social Studies, English, and Drama classes in the United States, China, and Spain. He is a major proponent of gamification and has employed various game systems to improve student engagement and create a classroom community. He uses simulations, breakouts, and party games to get students involved and create a competitive learning atmosphere. Alex has also used Class Dojo and ClassCraft as help to manage student behaviors. Examples of lessons and resources can be found at his website: http://mrkrempely.weebly.com/.
