Game Type: Educational Trivia
Game Summary: This website allows users to access different trivia questions on various subjects for free. Once you become a paying member, you have access to more games. As a member, you can choose a grade level and specific subject to play. Their is no multiple choice type questions, just matching. When the matching answer and question are correctly paired they change to a bright color. If the question and answer are incorrectly paired, the color turns grey. The trivia games allow the player to try again until they find the correct match. Their are no points or any other incentives throughout the game.
Educational Value: All of the information provided on this website, match the Common Core Standards. There are many quizzes ranging from the kindergarten level to the high school level. The topics include: geography, math, science, language arts, and history. These games can be used either as an initial instruction piece or for review.
Opinion: I love how this website states that it is iPad accessible since many schools are moving in that direction. This website would be a good investment for any school to purchase for their computers so students of all levels can benefit from the vast amount of trivia games. My concern is that the games are very specific and may include some material that has not been and may not be taught in a lesson. However, hopefully students will be able to use process of elimination and deductive reasoning in order to learn new information. Overall, I really enjoyed testing out the trivia games on this site, but would have really liked a point system or other award to keep track of my progress.
