Verena Roberts @verenanz , Lee Graham @akleeg, and Colin Osterhout @costerhout share the vision for Gamifi-ED and how the project got started.

Sometimes classroom projects happen that change everything for you as a teacher. For me, Gamifi-ed has completely rocked my world in terms of what I think students can do. Stay tuned next week, but for now, we’re kicking off the Gamifi-ed OOC with this #ecmatters show and a video.

Who will want to listen to this show?

If you’re curious or have questions about the effective use of games in education, you’ll want to listen to this show.

My favorite thing in the show is the questions each guest shared that worries them about games in education.

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
