Kahoot!

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used as educational technology in schools and other educational institutions.

Kahoot! can benefit my teaching and learning. It is used for educational purposes but while playing games. It will test the knowledge of my students through playing. Using kahoot as a teaching to can help students to learn better because it will be more fun and interesting. They will tend to participate more in class activities and they will be more motivated. Students will be more enthusiastic to answer the questions as there is a challenge mode, where teachers can use it to challenge their students. This can also benefit teaching and learning as there are two options in favor of learners, that is the 'teach' option for visual classrooms and the 'assign' option for self paced learning.

Here is the link. Just take a look to see how fun, creative and interesting this learning platform is

What’s New in Game-based Learning – February 2026

The early months of 2026 have proven that game based learning is no longer just a trend—it is a cornerstone of effective instructional design. As we move through February, the conversation has shifted from “Can games teach?” to “How can we make game-based outcomes more observable and scalable?”

For organizations looking to lead, understanding the latest developments in game-based learning in 2026 is essential. This month, we are seeing a focus on functional design, emotional resonance, and the technical infrastructure that allows for seamless integration.

Stop Lecturing, Start Leveling Up: The Power of Content Gamification 🎮

Let’s be honest—traditional digital learning can sometimes feel like a chore. You click "next," read a slide, and repeat until the quiz at the end. But what if the learning itself felt like a game?

Enter Content Gamification.

Unlike its cousin, Structured Gamification (which adds points and leaderboards to the outside of a course), Content Gamification transforms the actual subject matter. It uses game-thinking and mechanics to turn a static lesson into an immersive experience.

Why Does It Matter?

In a world of shrinking attention spans, Content Gamification is the secret sauce for high engagement. It doesn’t just reward you for finishing; it makes the process of learning addictive by:

Creating Storytelling Loops: Turning a compliance module into a high-stakes mystery.

Interactive Decision-Making: Letting learners face consequences in a safe, simulated environment.

Immediate Feedback: No more waiting for a final grade—get "power-ups" or "health drops" based on real-time choices.

Content vs. Structured: What’s the Difference?

Think of it this way:

Structured Gamification is the "envelope"—you get a badge for opening it.

Content Gamification is the "letter"—the information inside is written as an interactive quest.

Whether you're an educator, a corporate trainer, or a content creator, understanding how to weave these mechanics into your narrative is the key to creating "sticky" content that people actually enjoy.

Ready to turn your "boring" data into a win?

The Hidden History of Women Game Designers - JSTOR Daily

Nineteenth-century women turned music lessons into interactive entertainment, complete with spinning wheels and ivory counters.

"Across the Atlantic, Abbie T. Hays, principal of a music school in Wichita, Kansas, filed a patent in 1895 for a “musical game device” designed to teach notation with pictures depicting the words spelled out by note-names (think B-A-G or B-E-E). Later that year, Sarah W. Featherstone, a schoolteacher in Toledo, Ohio, filed a patent for Nota Bene, which used a spinning wheel to teach children rhythm. And in 1897, the enterpreneurial Evelyn Fletcher of Toronto filed both Canadian and US patents for a Music Block Game. Her “Fletcher Music Method” would later be endorsed by luminaries such as John Philip Sousa and Hugo Riemann, and it was highly popular with schoolteachers. This is just a small selection of the names and devices that pop out of the archive.

In my experience searching historical patent records, one is more likely to come across games designed by women than by men."
