What is it?
• “A free
online, game-based learning platform that can be used for any content area and
easily integrates technology.”
Advantages:
• Teachers can customize depending on
specific needs, units of study or content area.
Wonderful way to get kids excited about a test and gives teachers
instant data as it assesses how many students missed a specific concept.. Teachers can create their own activity or
chose from the preexisting bank. Lastly,
it’s free!
Disadvantages:
• The game only allows for multiple-choice,
yes or no, or true or false questions limiting gauging a students thinking. As
such, it is good for reviewing but not actual lessons. Works great a 1:1 setting to get the most
accurate data. Can be very competitive
and requires time for students to sign in.
Usage:
• Once a teacher signs up, creates/picks
activity, and students sign in the program runs on its on. I would use this program to review before a
test or even to assess students as an exit ticket in a 1:1 setting.
Teaching It:
• The initial set up can be confusing and
would require a short walk-through demo.
