Educational Game Quizzes

The games I created were terrific in the US history (11th grade) classroom. After a brief review of the section, I used the projector to put the multiple-choice game on the screen. The students either knew the answer to each question outright, or looked up the answer in their textbook. (I only had to direct them to the proper section once!) We did not choose an answer until they were sure they were right - and they scored 100%. The game was fast and easy to make, loaded quickly and is the sort of tool that could be used for daily review in the classroom in any subject. The students enjoyed it, and felt confident in their knowledge of the section. I'm thinking about turning them loose in small groups to create similar game/quizzes for their peers. I think that will only increase their knowledge of the material, and their confidence in their knowledge.
