The Jeopardy contestant test uses a powerpoint system that looks and feels very much like the actual TV show. I wonder if it's the same product? [/quote]
It sounds like it might be Powerpoint inspired, and a nice gadget even for non-educators to have. What's next, a Feud or WOF system along those lines? [/quote]
Here's a link to Classroom Jeopardy!, in case nobody knows what we're talking about.
I would've mentioned the Classroom Jeopardy! gizmo in the summer, as I included it in a report for one of my education classes. Unfortunately, posting to this board isn't a high priority in my life at the present time.
I can't see WoF or Feud working in a classroom setting. Password would work for language arts classes and you don't need a $400 electronic gadget to play that game.
Without sending this thread way off-topic, I would be interested to hear how educators (Matt, Adam, and anybody else I'm forgetting) incorporate game shows and games in general into the classroom. I won't start teaching for another year but I am interested in ways to add some games (and fun in general) to a bland subject, my field--high school math. Jeopardy is an idea but it isn't a very math-friendly game and the preparation time would be hours. [/quote]
You can always host \"Play the Percentages\"....heck, high school couples act like their married.
