The document discusses gamifying classroom learning. It provides examples of gamification like "Key Warriors" and "Hero Seekers". The bulk of the document outlines a six-part quest to guide educators through gamifying their own curriculum. This includes setting up accounts on online platforms, creating quests and activities aligned to content, awarding points and ranks to motivate students, and developing storylines and avatars to engage students in the gamified content. Resources on gamification research and books are also provided.
