Multimedia Jeopardy For Your Classroom
Teachers in the Sydney Region in NSW are a lucky bunch. The Sydney Region Schools IT Service provide a blog (Podcast Lane) to help teachers and ICT Co-ordinators with the practical aspects of integrating technology in their classroom. I found this great interactive Jeopardy game resource (for PC users) on their blog.
Not only does it have heaps of ready made quizzes available but it is also completely customisable meaning that you can create a quiz for your students or better yet get the students to create the quiz themselves. You can add any kind of media as part of your quiz including pictures, audio files and movie files.
This resources is an amazing way to get students working on little bits of media - vox pops on content as part of the questions for Stage 2, taking pictures of the school environment for Stage 1, literature review for any stage.... the list is unending.
Depending on how you use the tool it can teach some of the skills of the 21st Century I talked about in my previous post including - play, negotiation, distributed cognition or performance.
Nice work Stu!
