If you choose to use missions within your QUESTTs, consider taking your story up a notch and include an Item Shop. If you've ever played any of the simulation games on Facebook or other online sites, you may have even purchased items to help you on your journey. Farmville, anyone?

Obviously, a little competition can go a long way if you can really get your students to "buy-in" to the game you've created. Having an Item Shop is a great way to play off of this competition, and to motivate your students. Check out some of the items in Phillip Vinogradov's class shop.
