Note: This was my first article for Gamification Corp in August 2013. I am by no means a supporter of what is called “gamified education” as it’s being promoted. I always had my own ideas that weren’t developed by the “gamification community.” Children who spend too much time on digital devices experience brain damage, and therefore their use should be avoided. Some designs in the real world, such as those by John Hunter and his World Peace Game should be the standard.
