What do you like best about Classcraft?

It gets the students to engage in teamwork to work together toward goals. There are lots of support resources like videos and handouts for teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classcraft?

It does take some time for the initial setup and "selling" the idea to my students (and their parents). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Classcraft:

Open a trial account, watch the 5 minute tutorial video, and familiarize yourself with the default rules. It is very customizable, so you can adapt it for your own classroom, teaching style, level of course, and school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Classcraft solving and how is that benefiting you?

Student motivation is greatly improved. It makes it super easy to encourage good behaviour and sanction poor behaviour without needing to resort to formal sanctions. I can de-escalate poor behaviour quickly in most cases long before formal sanctions would be necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Classcraft?

I really like this software because I feel that I know my students much more and the potential they have. Now I know all aspects of each of my students in the classroom.

I love that this software is so dynamic and fun, in addition to being developed as a game making the classes very interactive. Gamify everything related to education deepening the learning of all my students.

Another aspect that I like about this software is that it is totally technological and dynamic; it attracts my students a lot.

I can make personalized lessons as well as my students can customize them in any way they want. I can place the content of the topics and other activities that we carry out in classes making each lesson an adventure for my students.

And finally, I consider that the main objective of this software is to be able to integrate all the students in the academic activities and for me the participation of my students is very important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Classcraft?

Everything is perfect; there is nothing that I do not like about this software. This software is well developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Classcraft:

We have already seen that the use of games in the classroom is an excellent tool for learning, but not any improvised game fulfills the requirements to encourage knowledge.

Today more than ever, students want to have fun and have a rewarding experience while learning new skills and knowledge. Given the development of new technologies, training processes are at a serious disadvantage when it comes to attracting students' attention and focusing them on a task. For this reason, it is necessary to offer resources and activities that are attractive and that integrate a variety of stimuli, greater dynamism and an active participation of the students.

Participation in a game requires that learners often make decisions and execute certain activities, applying contents in different ways and in different contexts, and placing strong emphasis on the active role of students.

Many games make it possible for large groups to actively participate in a class, interacting among the various members regardless of the amount. In this way, they facilitate the organization and structuring of a class aimed at many students and allow everyone to get involved and actively learn.

Therefore, use this software to create a collective experience that builds a positive bond in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Classcraft solving and how is that benefiting you?

This software makes classes more fun. Classcraft changes the school because applying video games in the classroom give us great experience. When students complete some task, the adventure unfolds, thrilling them to progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
