The EdQuest Impact isn't just in the research!

From the moment we decided to tackle the challenge of designing and building EdQuest for schools, I had already witnessed the power of gamification in learning first-hand in my classrooms and conducted extensive research on the topic in my Masters degree. It is safe to say I wholeheartedly believe in the impact and vast positive outcomes that EdQuest can offer. I use it in my own classrooms and see the very benefits we claim on this website. But to get testimonials from other users just solidifies these as facts and brings so much joy to know we are helping to improve the learning experience for students all over the world. Below is a condensed (and extensive) testimonial from 2 amazing teachers that have been team-teaching with EdQuest in Germany for the past year.

Nothing in the following testimonials has been altered from their words, simply grouped into categories.
