Come September, they’ll be able to use their smartphones to keep up with the game too, with an iOS app set for release and an Android version to follow. The teacher can track all this activity in Classcraft, or, as in Young’s case, the kids can use their laptops to interact with it in real-time. Students can gain powers specific to their character class by levelling up, and they can use these to help and protect their teammates (or themselves), activating them live as events that unfold in the classroom. This helps focus the students, Young told GamesBeat during a video call, as “the second they get into class, they want to know what’s going to happen.”Īs the lesson progresses, Young will dish out experience points for good work and collaboration and will give hit damage to students who lack focus or misbehave. It might be a disaster, like a pupil’s game character dying, or it could be something goofy like someone getting up to sing.

At the start of class, his students come in and check their stats on the screen projected at the front of the room. If you’re a gamer, being in Shawn Young’s physics classroom sounds like a blast. It’s going to turn heads in an education system used to strict budgets and paying per-head for software solutions, especially when they realize that the students will be buying gear and pets for their Classcraft avatars on iTunes. Currently a free service, Classcraft will introduce a pay structure this fall that embraces the free-to-play model more commonly seen in mobile apps and online games like League of Legends and Runescape.
