Jeopardy Games

Jeopardy games can be used as a pre-test to see what kids know, or as a wrap up of something by using it aa review. Here is a link for an online template. It is very easy to use and doesn't take long to make. You are also able to edit the template, just make sure you remember your password! With this template however, it is only text based. You cannot add animation or videos. This game can also be made in powerpoint. This is a little more confusing, but works really well. In powerpoint you can make animations and use pictures. You can also make video questions by inserting a video or sound, which is really cool. These things seperate the web based template from powerpoint. You can do a lot more with powerpoint and make the game more interesting for the children. This can be used over and over for many different ideas. It is a great tool to know about and be able to use for your classroom. This jeopardy template is a great idea to use in place of flash cards or worksheets. This would also be great to use as a review for a test at home instead of a boring study guide that children may or may not look over. With it being a game children will be more likely to want to play it and they can learn as they are going through the game.

The NETS Standard that apply to this is:
2A: design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity.
 I chose this standard because I am creating a learning experience that incorpates digital tools that promote students in learning. This is adapted from a boring worksheet or flash cards that work the same way. This is a more creative way of learning and it's a lot more fun.
