Reply To: Lesson 3.2: What Video Games Can Teach Us about Grading? – Discussion

[Christopher Ernst]

Love the video game comparison, and have actually been talking with another teacher in my district about this very concept. He’s leaning towards a more “gamified” classroom experience, but also using this idea for AFG as well.

One question I do have is for students that are chronically absent, a very common occurrence at my school and in my district prior to this year, can we really give a 0 on a LG for them? We’re required to have grades in for all students at some points. Seems like they’re coming into the game with no extra lives or already behind.
