 * Creating the Multiplayer Classroom - Monday 10:15 (virtual) Andy Petroski**

Everyone has an F. . . Unless

What is the Multiplayer Classroom book. Idea is to change the classroom so that it looks like a game. Gamification - use of game techniques and mechanics to involve students Combines online role playing eg world of warcraft--planning, teamwork, strategy, use of resources, feedback, leadership

Concepts: xp, level, avatar, guilds, zones, roles, quests, crafting, raids, lands

Why change--student centered, immersive, collaborative, lots of opportunity, on-going feedback

I ordered the book if anyone wants to see it.

Qr code is just an image that can be inserted in a document. For document, put online and code url due to size limitations.

Avoid frustration of long urls, go directly to site, saves time, fast way to provide resources. Url shortener will make qr easier to scan. Always include url for those who can't scan. Google url shortener is goo.gl. It provides a lot of analytical data. Be sure to link to mobile version. Qr voice will record your voice and create code.
