In class today we made Jeopardy games. I love Jeopardy so this was a fun lesson. The first thing we did was investigate Jeopardy Lab. This website allows you to make Jeopardy games using a template. This site is nice if you have a basic game that you want to create or are in a hurry. It was an easy process. You click on build, enter a password (which will enable you to edit the came later), and then enter the title, catagories, answers, and questions. Once your done editing you click save and then are given a link to edit the game later and one that will let you play the game.The Jeopardylab version's biggest downfall was that it is only accesable by internet.
We also used a premade powerpoint to make a Jeopardy game. This powerpoint was a template of sorts. It has the catagories, scores, slides for the answers and questions, and links from the point value on the first screen to the corrisponding slide. I changed the catagory name and then put answers on the slide. We then discussed how to make the questions appear using custom annimation. There were several different possibilities. One was to insert a text box with the question and then animate it. Another was to change the format of the slide to title and content and then to animate the question. The last way we discussed was to type the question on the next line and then to high light and animate the question.
This relates to Standard 2. c. "customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources." We used the Jeopardy games to create a different way of reviewing material in a class.
