    In this episode, we had a delightful discussion with Johnathan Howlstrom, an enthusiastic educator who has recently introduced gamification elements into his classroom and kind of stumbled into a new world without contact to any other gamifiers. Jonathan shared his experience with implementing boss battles in his lessons, where students participate in spelling challenges using a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired game format. He also shares a game in our ever popular segment “Whatcha’ been playin’...?” You can follow him on Tiktok by clicking here.

Always fun to listen to

I love listening to you guys talk and always walk away with a new idea to check out for my classroom. Your podcast is like a virtual teachers’ room— so welcome since Covid has taken much of that opportunity away. Keep it up! **Update: still loving your podcast... @findingmyaloha, redundant:)

Solid!

Great show, solid entertaining banter. I’ve learned a lot and had fun listening. Sometimes it’s too quiet for me to hear, especially Scott’s voice.
