«Walk into Matthew Farber’s middle school classroom and you’ll meet students who consider themselves beta testers of innovative learning experiencesYou’ll see an inspired teacher who understands how to combine cutting-edge game mechanics with instructional strategies like project-based learning. I haven’t had the pleasure of that classroom visit just yet, but reading ‘Gamify Your Classroom’ is the next best thing. Farber, as author, shares his own journey into understanding the power of games for learning. He invites readers along as he interviews experts and learns from those on the frontiers of this exciting space. Then he brings us back to the magic circle of the classroom, where games create teachable moments for engaged, inspired learners.» (Suzie Boss, Author of ‘Bringing Innovation to School’; national faculty member, Buck Institute for Education)
