Playing games while learning something, what more could you ask for in a classroom? Each week, Greg brings us some new and exciting opportunities on the internet to use in our own classrooms, which I have found to be absolutely engaging. It was so easy to sign up for QUIA's (www.quia.com/web) 30-day trial, and to use their site to make games such as hangman, quizzes, matching games, flashcards and even word searches. QUIA is a fun and interactive way for students to teach one another topics they are experts in, as we did in our workshop this week. I chose to do famous Canadian figure skaters as my quiz, as I am the only Canadian in Group 2, I thought this would be a good topic to stump my peers with. Surprisingly, with a little luck, some of my peers did quite well.
It is so reassuring to know, that this course is not designed for our failure, but to make us the best teachers we possibly can be, by giving us tools we can use in our own classrooms, to make our classrooms the most engaging and fun, while actually teaching our students at every learning level, whether they are visual learners or hands on focused! I find the learning technologies workshops extremely resourceful, as I am learning so many new things that I didn't think were possible, or easy.
