Gamification is the education topic du jour. With new game-based learning environments being touted as a solution to all the problems of the modern classroom, we urge the G4C community to question trends before investing in them. Provocative voices from diverse sides of the gaming-for-learning industry rant against the idea that any of the models already in use are particularly effective applications of video games in the classroom. Attendees may get puzzled or confused, or simply take away a new lens for looking at gamifying schools (or schoolifying games).
Christopher Cunningham habla de la gamificación, que como él define es el uso de técnicas y mecánicas de juegos en aplicaciones y ámbitos que originalmente no son lúdicos.
“You can’t leisure yourself to meaning.”
— LucasArts & Epic Games President Paul Meegan, reflecting on six months of attempted retirement before reenlisting the core Fortnite team to pursue a new learning-tech startup with the mission to help every person maximize their potential and live a life of meaning.
Fortnite is the compelling collaborative game that grew to 250 million users and $6.3B in revenue in its first year. “AWS told us Fortnite is their #2 customer, second only to the CIA.”
The new company is in stealth mode for now but has found a deep reservoir of motivation and meaning in their pursuit of a meaningful mission. Not just for two billion children but lifelong learning and reskilling for adults as well: “60 million American adults are functionally illiterate and innumerate.”
In contrast, companies like “OnlyFans, Affirm, Klarna and DraftKings democratize exploitation of the user.”

A lively debate on the question: Is gamification a useful and important application of the power of games?
NYC Media Lab gathered some of the most influential game designers in New York City to discuss the way game mechanics have quickly gained prominence as one of the latest strategies for businesses to engage with consumers. While gamification intrigues marketers and content providers alike, it’s generated a backlash among many game developers who feel that these efforts are misguided.
Led by Wade Tinney, who heads the New York chapter of the International Game Developers Association, this thought-provoking debate analyzed the role of gaming in business applications through case studies, expert opinions, and audience participation. The panel was held at the NYU-Poly campus, with a reception following in the Game Innovation Lab. Approximately 80 guests attended the debate.
