Jeopardy

Very cool tool to use in the classroom from probably about the 4th grade and up.  Here is the link to my Jeopardy game.  At http://jeopardylabs.com/ you use a template that looks very similar to the real Jeopardy game on television.  However, there is no Alex Trebek.  You may enter a title for you game, subjects, as well as the questions and answers.  Or is that answers and questions?  Afterall, it is Jeopardy.  Anyway, the point is that your Jeopardy game is custom made by you to fill your need.  The game can be used as a review for a test or quiz, or it could be the actual test or quiz.  Another possible use could be to have Jeopardy act as a closure tool by reviewing the week, the day, or individual class periods.  The best part is that after you have created your game, you are given a link where you can play the game, as well as a link that allows you to edit.  This is all done through the use of a password that you create before starting the process.  And if you don't want to create your own.  There are possibly hundreds of templates already made and waiting for you to browse through.  This is possible because after a game is created, that template becomes public property.  So all-in-all this is a great resource to include technology into your classroom.

NETS T- 1a, 1d, 2a, 2c, 2d(if you used this tool for assessment), 3a, 3b, 3d, 4(I haven't been listing 4 in this section of my responses, but as I think about it, #4 should be listed with every activity because no matter how simple or complex the tast, teachers should promote the spirit of this standard in every lesson), 5a.  Surprising that a simple, easy to use site like this could touch on so many standards.
