7 principles of game-like learning to shape teaching and learning

"7 principles of game-like learning to shape teaching and learning:

• everyone is a participant;
• challenge is constant;
• learning happens by doing;
• feedback is immediate and ongoing;
• failure is reframed as iteration;
• everything is interconnected;
• and it kind of feels like play."

Wow.  This is totally the opposite of the way I was taught!

• I never participated unless the teacher called on me
• I was bored or frustrated, but rarely challenged
• I never did much besides workbooks and tests
• I got my grade 3 days after with all the grammar corrected in bloody red
• Failure was framed as failure
• Nothing was interconnected
• and it totally felt like work.
