Speed of response is important here - we found that there is very little time to act. This appears to be due to the speed of the computer, and while it may also offer a realistic simulation of a TV game show, such pressure may be off-putting. Quiz played against a classmate . Working in pairs, students try to answer multiple choice questions before a classmate. The categories and questions are the same as those in the quiz played against a computer partner.
Students can play audio questions and descriptions over as many times as they like.
Each time students get a correct answer, they earn points. The student's score is displayed in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Each time a student misses a question, the score goes down. This is not explained to students at the start and can be misleading. When students complete an activity or exit from it, their score is displayed.
