Gamification is the process of turning ordinary activities into games by applying game elements like defining a central goal, having specific rules of play and offering rewards. Many people think that gamification simply means to play more games or to completely change how and what they are teaching, but that isn't true at all. The gamification of learning means changing the context of how we present the same content we are teaching using the same assignments; however you could also take it a step further and tweak individual lessons to be more game-like.
