Interested in gamification? Why not try Gimkit! Gimkit is a free web-based application with no software download required, that works on a Mac, PC or mobile devices. Gimkit allows an instructor to select or build quiz questions in a "kit" that students play against a clock as well as each other to accumulate points (in game dollars). Similar to Kahoot or Quizlet, this is another version of an app that allows you to provide a fun formative assessment component to your course!
Instructional Strategy: Lecture
Blooms Levels= 1-2 without activity (knowledge, comprehension)
3-4 with activity (application, analysis)
- Stimulate reflection
- Challenge the imagination
- Develop curiosity and sense of inquiry
- Push content
- Introduce topic/content, followed by a discussion to support the concepts covered in the lecture
- Lecture method should include the types of experiences students will be afforded and the kinds of learning outcomes expected
- Teacher-centered (unless activity is involved)
- Incorporating an activity can help to enforce learning as the attention span of students may be limited
- Formative assessment
- Reflective quiz
- Provides the instructor the opportunity to apply the concepts from the book and course
