Hey @Josie Caro & @Nicole Eisenkrein! I was just curious. What brought you here? Are you long time followers of Scott's content? 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? For me, the first time I learned about classroom gamification was from a teacher in my hometown (Quebec City) back in 2018, I think. Then, I quickly got super interested in the topic and I discovered Scott's work. That was the moment I got completely hooked & sold on the concept. I read his books, I fully gamified my classroom and gamification changed my life. I've been studying and/or applying gamification in many aspects of my life (almost) on an daily basis since then. Even my own life is a game I'm playing now! So what's your story? What got you into the 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦?

This is the Module #1 - Choose Your Path discussion hub. What jumped out at you? What did you learn? What did you question?

Well done, Apprentice! You've taken your first look at the 'invisible chains' that bind our young adventurers. It can be a sobering sight, can't it? Even a 60-second audit reveals just how much agency has been stolen. But now you see them. And seeing them is the first step to breaking them. After your reflection, what did you come up with? What 'chains' did you identify? Share your findings with the Guild below! ⤵️"
