"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron.“ ~Horace Mann

Gamification • Teacher goes from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side” http://www.gamification.co/2012/01/13/gamification-vs-game-based-learning-in-education/
Why Gamification? “People often say motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.” – Zig Ziglar
