If you've found this early tweet as an #ALC708 student, I am deeply impressed...

I am also deeply sorry.

@MehtabNehra Have already used this great example in another seminar! I just wish I had the hair to use the strategy myself 😄

A recap of some key points from today's seminar about gamification...

By the way, could you tell I made myself laugh before speaking at the start of this recording? Can you imagine how much my arm hurt by the end of it? How many takes do you think I needed? #ALC708 #LearnByDoing

@Clairerussell12 Good for you Claire!

[Adam Brown @digitalzones]

A student just came across this blog and reminded me about its existence. They 'liked' it, so maybe other current students might find something valuable in it? Lots of inspirational stories in there, and none of them mine... https://t.co/QznKHiTIx4 #ALM101 #ALM201 #ALC708

@AshKotula Great tip Ash!

Everyone likes being a tourist, but have you experienced tourism of the gamified kind? https://t.co/3wT1moaxtq #ALC708

[Adam Brown @digitalzones]

I talk to students often about the serendipitous moments that occur when getting creative with digital content. Planning is crucial, but sometimes great things come from just doing. So don't wait too long when you're making media! 😊🐶 #ALM101 #ALC708

Gamified Virtual Challenges: story-driven exercise, unlockable content, environmental causes, and The Lord of the Rings! What's not to love?? 🧙‍♂️

If your answer to the above question is 'the movies', you will be unfollowed, blocked, and reported. https://t.co/nEOXz3vCTG #ALC708

@JamesManley98 Interesting example I hadn't connected to a game mechanic - it's a fancier version of a progress bar!

#ALC708 What did I do with some unexpected free time? I told my camera how to make a podcast:

On gamification and learning: a quick video I made many years ago on my phone, where it was more difficult to judge background music volume. So let this be a double lesson to you... 😄 #ALC708

[Adam Brown @digitalzones]

Some media-making advice from my 5 year-old self to all students...

If you fall over, get back up.

If you stumble, regain your footing.

If someone keeps filming, smile for the camera!!

Hi #ALC708! So, I just made a podcast...Eeeeep! Here's a short little vid with some advice on podcasting:

[Adam Brown @TeachinDigital]

@SarahFromClass1 Well, at least they didn't claim to listen to it. That's what I find most offensive 😄

Short video - gamification #ALC708

[Adam Brown @TeachinDigital]

@pboydwriting And no better take on the reach and impact of gamification too! My young niece and nephew are very keen on Reading Eggs... Thanks for sharing!

[Adam Brown @TeachinDigital]

@pboydwriting Really outstanding engagement with the camera Paul! If you'll indulge some feedback (and while we're not too stressed about this til the final task - plus you'll likely find a different background), check out how you're covering up half the frame behind you - could be to yr left.

[Adam Brown @TeachinDigital]

@SarahFromClass1 They're the most comfortable seats in my house too... 😉

[Adam Brown @TeachinDigital]

@aiken_edits @SeavLov Basically the reason I hired Seav... 😋
