This book will occupy an honored place in our school's professional development library for teachers and administrators. Gamification is a veritable goldmine of material for teacher training sessions. ... Gamification offers a plethora of evidence, again, provided by worldwide experts. If a teacher or administrator still has questions regarding the effectiveness of gamification, somewhere within this book's 700+ pages there's bound to be an adequate answer. (David W. Deeds, Technology, Knowledge and Learning, Vol. 21, 2016)
