I would love to see the documents and forms that you use for your class! The calculation of XP is the aspect that worries me (time wise). Wish I knew how to use sheets better.

[@PattyR12]

so the idea is you're not necessarily playing games, or being digitised, but basing the daily structure on gaming model.
but isn't it a pain keeping track of it all?

I understand motivating students, but using a scratch off and random rewards model seems a bit manipulative. Its like educational lootboxes. Not sure how I feel about gamification used in this way, though it does push good skills using systems we know work. But there is something about normalizing the "phone game" systems as regular and reasonable that might send more people towards those systems or see them as more agreeable in their own lives.
