Feedly Article #1--"What2Learn-Create Your Own Review Games"

What2Learn - Review Games

Summary of Article: 

What2Learn is a site offering review games.  It offers them in math, science, social studies and English language arts.  Student registration is not required to play the games.  There are pre-made games, or teachers can build their own.  With 16 templates available, you have the option to preview each game before selecting the template.  Once you have completed the game, it can take up to 24 hours before the game is live to allow administrators to review content.  

Application in the Classroom:

This would be a great tool for building interactive quizzes for students.  In English language arts, this can be used to review works you've read in class or to study literary terms.  By creating your own, you can customize the quizzes to your curriculum.  If you really want to get students thinking, you can have them help you create the questions for the quizzes.  If you are looking for more quick options, you can simply utilize the numerous existing quizzes available.
