Lesson Idea

There is so much technology available at Spring Creek and so many ways to incorporate it into lesson plans. My mentor teacher showed me a cool way to create a game on the computer that can be projected using the Smart Board. For math review, she and I created a Jeopardy game. When the students chose a category and number, we would just touch the board on that number and the question would pop up. When we returned to the main screen, it would show that the question had already been asked. The game also kept score for the two teams so that the students always knew who was winning. At the end, when all of the questions had been asked, the game showed a funny cartoon dancing to celebrate the victory of the winning team. The students loved how interactive the technology was and it kept them very engaged!
