Level Up Book Club
The Level Up Book Club was started in 2012 as a "reading challenge for folks who (like us) are interested in exploring gamification as an instructional tool". Two American Librarians, Jennifer LaGarde (aka Library Girl) and Matthew Winner started the club and said "we're gonna read books, participate in challenges, share epic wins and explore how gaming can help make our instruction more meaningful for our kids".
The Level Up Book Club sparked my interested in gamification and gave me access to books, articles and other resources, as well as a group of awesome like-minded librarians. It is also a really good example of how to go about gamifying a book club. Check it out! |
