Love technology and old fashioned games. One of the biggest challenges in any classroom is making content interesting, relevant, and engaging. Students are growing up in a world in which they are constantly looking to be entertained - but not necessarily educated. Great teachers, however, can combine the two by providing edutainment for their students. One of the best ways to do this is by using content as a foundation to create classroom board games. When teachers teaching a unit, students are responsible for learning the names, dates, people, places, ideas, etc . . . There is quite a bit of information that must be covered according to state standards, and it is very easy for students to become overwhelmed and disinterested early on- games can help in the classroom.
