Why does FA work?
What we can learn from the gaming industry:
● Clear Goals● Clear Feedback on Progress Toward Goal● Score Tells Exact Distance from Target● Structured with Multiple Levels● Becomes Progressively More Challenging● Challenge Creates Interest
High Impact Instruction
For some students, school is like a boring game with no clear goal,
no score, and always at the same level of play with nowhere to go

True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they
invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing,
joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create their own.
