Boy oh boy do we have a special one for you! In this episode we demystify and separate out Gamification and Games Based Learning, talk about one of the best action/sci-fi movies of all time, The Matrix – and get up on our soap boxes about how to take the red pill to add cool sunglasses and some tight leather trousers to your own education practice.
Mike and Mark are capably led through this thorny space by James York and Jonathan deHaan, who also run the Ludic Language Pedagogy community – which we heartily encourage you to check out.
There’s also going to be a pretty sweet paper coming out soon to accompany this episode (and develop and better articulate the ideas) spearheaded by James and Jonathan. It’s currently out for review – we can’t wait to share it with you when it’s ready!
