Gaming in education is a way to help students learn in an enjoyable way. Our students have grown up with video games and using them for educational purposes is "fun". A game, or a challenge, or a puzzle are all ways to engage students in learning and a game such as this is no exception. Whether it is used for review or learning new material, it is a good tool for the classroom.

This was a very easy game to create, although I cannot figure out how to get my last match to stay put. "Quizlet" does not want to stay on the bottom with "Understanding". Once I created my game, I could not find a way to go back to edit it. That is one feature I wish I could find! Our district pays for subscriptions to Quia, which is also a site that creates different games that my students greatly enjoy. Here is my site, although you cannot see any games I have created on this page, it is a good website for educators. Quia

I thought this was very neat. One of our teachers uses Quia for quizzes and it was really interesting to watch it used in her class. I agree that gaming education is a good way to help kids learn. I have been observing classes when teachers have used review games or puzzles and the students were really involved. It gave them something fun to do while learning. Great post.
My daughter is a 7th grader and she just had to take a quiz in Quia. The teacher had created practice tests the used to study. Then the day of class she log in and then at the end she got her grade right away - SHE LOVED IT. As a parent I thought the process was great!
Great game! This is really a neat way to demonstrate the use of technology by the taxonomy. Quia was one of the assessment tools explored in tech-supported assessment class last fall. Excellent post!
