Gamification is officially part of the main stream in Israel. Last Wednesday I was interviewed in the talk show HaYanshufim in channel 8 about Gamification. First time for me on TV, I was a bit nervous, but eventually it was fine. You can catch the show here .
If you look closely on the table you can see a few game & watch games including a Zalda game & watch game device, with is a rear thing to see in Israel. It belongs to non other then Amitay Capon who you can see in the photo. Nice to know I’m not the only one in Israel collecting old video games…
One more thing about Gamification, while preparing a lecture I gave in Bezalel I stumbled upon a new presentation by Sebastian Deterding that can be found here . At the end of the presentation he concludes that we should use “Gameful design” instead of Gamifiaction and I really think he is right. In all my lectures about gamifiaction there was always someone mixing gamification with advergaming, playful design or seirous games. Gameful design just describes the phenomena a lot better, maybe with a little less buzz, but it’s probably for the better.
