    applying game mechanics to increase user engagement, happiness and loyalty!”

    Do students need to be citing details from the text and evidence for conclusions in class discussions?
    Answers without evidence are now worth 1 point, a correct answer with 1 piece of evidence is worth 2 points,a correct answer + 2 pieces of evidence = 3 points.
    b) Comparing and reflecting on performance in fine ways personalized for each student
    At the end of some video game levels, the player’s performance is broken down into countless details offering enormous data, achievements, and ways to reflect and document their performance and compare with others.
