Blowing Up the Grade Book

School is changing. There is no avoiding this, students are more connected to technologies than ever before and continue to get more connected each day. So as teachers why do we not adapt to this and use technology to our advantage. Using a game based teaching system rewards students as they learn while the current systems punishes as students make mistakes. With the gaming system students are encouraged to do their work with the chance of badges, awards, and achievements. This type of class allows students to earn the grade they want with out ever having to worry about being mathematically unable to obtain their goal. They work at their own pace but I still believe due dates should be set in place. Like the speaker said given a week to do something we will take a week to do something, or in my case given a semester to do something I will take a semester to do something. Games give the players (students) all the equal chance to win. Why wouldn't schools want to have equality throughout the students?
