Game-based learning
Game-based learning(GBL) is where games and learning combine together to assist in education. Game-based learning can promote student engagement while in the classroom. What makes game- base learning so compelling is the reward the students get for completing a task.

Games like Kahoot have a podium system where kids that are eager to learn and love to celebrate can compete against one another to be on the podium. . Another thing that makes (GBL) so effective for learning is the fact that it's entertaining for kids, and not just the same old paper or lecture technique its a compelling competitive way to make learning entertaining. Students will much rather wanna learn while playing a game than learn from just a piece of paper. "Studies show that 93% of class time is consumed on task while game-based learning is used". That means students are staying on task longer when games are implemented. There is a huge array of ways people can use game base learning to improve education.
