Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

We are in an ever changing educational environment in which remote and blended learning is becoming a necessity. In this session, educators explore how to use data-driven personalization and gamification to create energized engagement in remote and blended learning while meeting the educational and social emotional needs of all students. Student presenters will explain how gamification and personalized learning tailored to their specific needs and helped them to be energized and motivated learners. They will share how incorporation of games and competitions enabled them to track and grow their skills, and to win 1st Place in a worldwide academic contest during remote learning.

Participants will become better informed about how using personalized learning and gamification methods in tandem can help students learn more efficiently, have fun, employ a team concept, and be motivated to take direct ownership of their learning. Software tools used that infuse personalized learning and gamification in our STEAM learning environment include Classcraft, ClassDojo, IXL, Edgenuity, Discovery Education, Mastery Connect, Socrative, MobyMax, Ellevation, Minecraft, Blue Apprentice, Garage Band, iMovie, Animoto, Adobe Creative Cloud, Kahoot!, Quizizz, Khan Academy, Lexia Core5, Edulastic, Study.com, SumDog, DreamBox, and BrainPOP.
