M3 Reinforcement Activity


Psychology of gaming: Gaming and gaming design can create engaging experiences and let the individual feel rewarded. Gaming creates connections as well as escapism. Games can trigger dopamine, which makes the brain feel pleasure. Serotonin can be released during gaming as well. Serotonin can regulate the mind and create a feeling of happiness.

Games really bring people together. I can introduce a game in class. We will play table tennis. The challenge is the players have to make their own paddle. The students will work together designing. During game time all students from all groups will be pulled in to play, all sense of social clicks are gone. It is the sense of competition that draws the students together, that seems to bleed over to the class time. The social clicks are forgotten.

Points really give the students a reward. The dopamine is triggered in their brain. The student has seen the challenge and achieved it. My son is a gamer and shares frequently the achievements made. Many games have daily challenges to achieve. The student will go back to this game daily to relive the experience.


Tool Scavenger Hunt: Purpose of this game is to locate the tools within the shop, as well as reinforcing the name of the tools. This game is a quick starter to get the tools right and learning the names of tools, if not known. Small reward and small tasks building self-esteem.

 M1 Reinforcement Activity May 25,2024 Jennifer Lindemann M1 Reinforcement Activity ID 620 What learning theory would make this activity feasible? Constructivism is a learning theory that focuses on the creative experience and what we learn and reflect on from that experience through analysis and reflection. The learner is creating the experience instead of just waiting to learn a topic. How would you modify this activity to work in an online environment? This activity can be accomplished online through Microsoft Teams or Zoom. The ability to screen share and also have the ability to observe the body language of the participants is beneficial when a classroom is not accessible.. Small groups with video capabilities and online conversations have worked well in my graduate college experience. Test this theory in a Workshop/class. What worked and did not work, and what was the best excuse? Zoom worked with a leadership class I had. The team was small and had a shared goal. The downsid...
