EP042 Reflections on a Crazy Year – The Educator's Quest
It's the final episode of the first season! I do some reflecting on this past year and the things I've learned as well as things that will hopefully continue on after things go back to "normal".
Episode 15
This week, Yu-kai Chou joins me and explains key principles in gamification that we can utilize in the classroom. A couple of updates from Google. Plus, a Chrome tip from the treasure chest. And as always, your 8-Bit Crew question of the week.
