Jeopardy PowerPoints

my students love Jeopardy and especially when it's boys versus girls. i actually made the game before i realized that there were templates out there for me to use. they are simple, but the younger kids love them. they also think Alex Trebec is funny-looking. it's a great tutorial for review purposes and i've often posted the powerpoint on my blackboard site for students to use at home. i like it because it's interactive, but still taps into more behaviorist models of learning. for extra credit, i've allowed my students to make their own versions of the powerpoint with their own questions and categories. it really helps the monotonous task of making these presentations become more learner-centered. i have also found that other teachers love to use them (especially when they are made prior to the lesson or test). parents have emailed me that they enjoy playing the game with their students at home because it allows them to brush up on some information that they haven't thought about it years while having some valuable time with kids. simple, but very useful...
