What is or isn't gamification?
You may have heard about gamification and digital badges for learning or maybe you have been out of the loop playing Angry Birds. Either way, gaming in education is a hot topic right now.

**"This Game Sucks"**
So what exactly is gamification and why should you care? "This Game Sucks": How to Improve the Gamification of Education by Sarah "Intellagirl" Smith-Robbins || Engineering Table Design Challenge || What did you experience? || 3D Game Lab Guildsite Concept Map Planning Module One Quest Map for participants || This ninth edition describes annual findings from the NMC Horizon Project, a decade-long research project designed to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have an impact on learning, teaching, and creative inquiry in higher education. Six emerging technologies are identified across three adoption horizons over the next one to five years, as well as key trends and challenges expected to continue over the same period, giving campus leaders and practitioners a valuable guide for strategic technology planning.
