Re: [LM_NET] Alternatives to Videos on Testing days

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

I've created Powerpoint "Jeopardy" games for the students over books, movies, 
popular culture, even the DDC for times like these.

The formats are easy to change (new questions, categories, etc.) and the kids like 
the competition.  It also helps many of the students who are able to answer quick 
questions over easy topics to have some satisfaction when they realize that they DO 
know the answers to some of the questions like "Movie Books" ---or other pop 
culture things.  I know it sounds like another "test" but my kids love doing it 
after testing because it's almost mindless---they know THESE answers!

You just need an LCD projector and a computer that is connected to it.
