Reviewing for exams is a necessary task. If the method or strategy being used for the task is a "one way street" from teacher to students, it can be very boring and unproductive. Trying to make it engaging and fun for students is not always an easy assignment for any educator. PowerPoint Jeopardy style games are effective, but can be very tedious and time consuming to create (even when using a template). Plus, to today's students, being the digital natives that they are, PowerPoint can appear dull and out-dated.
FlipQuiz is a fairly new web tool that provides teachers a quick and easy way to create game show-style boards for test reviews in the classroom. FlipQuiz has a slicker appearance than PowerPoint that should keep the attention of even your most toughest customer . Because FlipQuiz is web-based, it can be accessed anywhere allowing students to review on their own time frame with any Internet accessible device. Or, switch it around a bit, and have your students create the review quizzes. Put them into groups and assign each group a different unit. Then, each group will prepare a unit specific review game that will be shared for everyone.
