My first texts.

Over the last couple of weeks I have been looking into many different texts in reference to the gamification of learning. After much searching I have come to my first two major texts. These texts are both written by Karl M Kapp and are called The Gamification of Learning and Instruction Fieldbook: Ideas into Practice and The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game Based Methods and Strategies for Training and Eduction. 

Karl Kapp is a professional in the field of learning with a focus on interactive learning, games and gamification. Instructional Technology Graduate Professor at Bloomsburg University in Bloomsburg, PA. He states his passion is teaching how to create engaging, interactive and effective learning at the individual and organizational level. 

I have also been watching a series on lynda.com created by Karl on the gamification of learning. He has truly got me thinking about the direction I am going with my project and I am starting to formulate idea for my final project.
