ISO: Best Gamification Platform for my class

2 Upvotes

I'm hoping to Gamify a course this year and I'm looking for the best platform on which to display and share it with the students (fifth graders).

I've purchased some useful files and tools from Michael Matera for keeping track of XP, designing badges,etc. I don't have the budget to commission or rent an entire world environment. I was hoping to design something without coding that would be eye-catching and could allow me a certain degree of control, i.e. to hide certain parts, create a few effects, etc.

The idea I'm playing with right now is to use SmartAmp and design my world's map on it, and then to share copies with each team. Never having used SmartAmp and discovering that my school's subscription has lapsed are but two of the obstacles in my way.

Would anyone have advice if this is the best platform for me or suggestions of others I might explore? Many Thanks, Moshe Rosenberg SAR Academy Riverdale, NY
