Jeopardy

Here is my Matter Jeopardy review.  I used Jeopardy Labs to create this game.

     This acivity was fairly easy to complete.  I just had to go to the Jeopardy Labs website, click Start Building, and type in my Jeopardy template.
     I learned that this website is much easier for me to use than creating a PowerPoint for Jeopardy.  It is also much faster to create a review.  One thing I should have done right away though was to SAVE my template after I typed in some information.  I accidentally closed the web page and lost all of my work.  I didn't really enjoy typing it all in a second time.  I also thought it was great that you could easily printout the web address for your game and also share items with other users.
     I use Jeopardy a good bit in the classroom.  The students love to play it on the Smartboard.  I have found that it is a great way to review information and improve the student's performance on tests.
     The standards addressed are #2 Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments and #5 Engage in Professional Growth and Leadership.  This activity allowed me to design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences by using digital tools to promote student learning.  The activity enabled students to assess their own progress in a technology-enriched learning environment.  As a teacher, I demonstrated the effective use of digital tools and a vision of technology infusion.
