Classroom Jeopardy Y'all!
I'll Take "Fun Way to Study Before the Big Test" for 400, Alex.
You have to admit, study games are some of the best and most entertaning ways to prepare for any exam. I remember back in High School, we played Literature Jeapordy for every test up until the 11th grade. (Too mature for games. Pfft.) Unfortunately we could only play with use of the chalkboard, but now, thanks to superteachertools.com, Classroom Jeapordy can now fit on your computer/smartboard screen.
If you've been living under a game show rock, Jeapordy is a game show in which contestants answer questions from a series of random topics trying to gain more points than there opponents. Classroon Jeapordy plays off of that, allowing teams of students to face off on in fiece competition of class subject smartitude.
Classroom Jeapordy runs slmost exacty like the show, displaying Categories, Points, and Team Scores just like the original. All the teacher has to do is imput the category and and questions and let the flashgame and the students take care of the rest. CJ will automatically tally scores and with student interaction, runs through the game by itself.
I will use the heck out of this tol in the classroom. There is no better way to prepare for the test by reviewing all the imortant information before hand in the form of one of world's most famous gameshows. Back in the day when my classroom got to play Jeapordy, my test grades would be substantially better than when we had to study straight from the book. However, I would want to space out the Jeapordy days to make it more of a special treat for students (plus thinking p a bunch of questions can be difficult for smaller tests). From personal experience however, the results don't lie. I mean who wouldnt want to help their class become the next Ken Jennings.
