We had some material to cover this week and I found out that we are having early release days. Well we had some chapters to cover in the book and we all know how much students enjoying reading, especially when they need to, even us. What could I do to cover needed material in a fun way and in a way that the students will learn?
So I was thinking maybe I could employ some of the training aides, games, which Ms. Hayden had posted on line. It provided an excellent vehicle for reviewing material that had been covered. Certainly the fact that it was a game caught the students interest and provided much competitive enjoyment for the students. By applying to several learning modalities, quality learning and reinforcement of previously learned material was successfully accomplished.
My happy surprise was to see students that are rarely excited about school get involved and to see the active teaching/learning process reach a very high participation rate. I will be using many of the other games that are available. The game we played was “Who wants to be a Millionaire” while learning about tools.

ReplyDeleteDon't you wish we played games in class? I believe school would have been more fun. I always enjoyed school, but these little things can make all the difference.
