If you're interested in introducing gamification into your K-12 classroom or curious about how to gamify lessons, you won't want to miss this guide. 

We collaborated with Jai Bishop, a Grade 5 teacher at Aoba-Japan International School, to share how he transformed a unit on space exploration into a gamification opportunity with the help of Canvas. 

From figuring out how to authentically integrate gamification and game-based learning into the curriculum to the ways his students earned badges and were assessed, Jai offers his experiences and tips to help K-12 educators like you.

This is a really great read for any teacher looking to implement gamification or is looking to level-up their gamification strategy.  Thank you @Kissairis and Jai!  I appreciate the focus on different gamer "types"....super practical and easy for teachers to apply.  My favorite quote:  "It is easy to forget that people can find the very same game enjoyable for completely
different reasons."  --- YES!
