As an English tutor and gamer, the discovery of a movement known as "ClassRealm" instantly sparked my imagination. I've had a lot of fun putting together races, classes and achievements for my own version of Classrealm: Wordhammer.
"ClassRealm is a customizable classroom management system built on role playing themes. Teachers can use ClassRealm to set up specific goals and achievements for individual students or entire classes, as well as to track student data and progress. Students can earn achievements and experience points by doing a wide array of school related tasks such as doing well on tests, helping others, and reading extra books. Parents can use ClassRealm to follow their child’s many adventures online and can even create personalized side quests. ClassRealm makes learning a grand adventure! "
A little nerdy, and a hint of adults trying too hard to 'make learning fun', sure, but I can't imagine one child who won't want pick earning XP and gaining rewards over traditional, slogging through work for the grand prize of highly annoyed parents demanding what they're paying school fees on as it doesn't seem to be the education of their child. With a new school year starting soon, I can't wait to see how this game plays out. This blog is to keep track of the adjustments made to the structure of the game, and progress of the adventurers.
