Original Question Wall Activity
This Jeopardy-style review activity allows teams or individuals a chance to “Buzz In” to answer the question correctly.
Teamwork Question Wall Activity
This Jeopardy-style review activity asks that all participants answer each question. Teams may be formed and the total points accumulated with be tallied at the end for the winning results.
|
|
|
Question Wall Options
You will have the option to create an activity from scratch, use the “quick start” to have the program create a game for you, load a pre-made game or resume a pre-made game.
|
|
|
Category Selection Screen
You can select up to five categories from our family tree classification. You can keep your category as broad as the entire database (ie. Earth Science) or pinpoint a specific topic (ie. Astronomy). You can also rename the categories to your liking.
|
|
|
State Standards Category Selection Screen
In addition to Eduware’s classification we have been adding state-specific standards of learning trees. If we have a classification for your state you will be able to browse your standards of learning to select questions.
|
|
|
Question Selection Screen
Once you have selected your categories you can then choose each question that will appear in the game and a point value associated with it. You can browse questions on screen or add questions by ID number with a handy Question Catalogue. In addition to choosing questions you can also select questions to be “Bonus” questions which will have double points during game-play.
|
|
|
Options Screen
Before starting your game you will have to go through a few options screens. In this screen you can choose whether to play your activity with Mouse and Keyboard, with Wands, or by using our Virtual Wand (an on-screen Wand that mimics all of the functionality of the true hardware). You can also set music, voice, and reading to on or off. The game has a built in music, custom encouraging voices for each team token, and a “reading” feature that allows a computer generated voice to read the questions and answers to your class.
|
|
|
More Options
In “More Options” you can choose to manually progress each question along by using your remote, or have the program do it for you on a timer. You can also set how students choose questions, freely or top to bottom (100 to 500 points). Select wether students “Buzz-In” to respond or if the program will go sequentially between the teams, or randomly between teams. Choose if all multiple choice answers are displayed on the screen at once, or if you want the program to show them one at a time. You can also set a time-limit for the amount of time a team has to answer a question.
|
|
|
Advanced Options
In advanced options you can set time limits for question and answer display. You can also specify the point-value-penalty for questions answered incorrectly.
|
|
|
Token Selection Screen
During a question wall activity your students or teams will be asked to choose a Team Token (or mascot) to represent them during game-play. We currently have a default token-set as well as an Animal Token-Set. Tokens provide interactive encouragement and entertainment throughout the activity. More Token Sets are in development.
|
|
|
The Question Wall
Here is the “score-board” and question selection screen. Correctly answered questions will be marked with the correct team’s token and if a question is not answered correctly it will appear as a gray box. Scores are displayed along the bottom of the screen next to the team-token.
|
|
|
Bonus!
You can select which question will be worth a “Bonus!” to add even more excitement to game-play. The team that answers the Bonus Question correctly is awarded double points.

Review Activity - EduRace Challenge
|
|

The Race is On!
Brand new for Fall 06’, the EduGame! releases an exciting racing review activity. Get your students in the driver’s seat as they compete in teams (up to 10) with custom race car drivers. Each team will try and answer questions quickly and accurately to make sure their car stays up-to-speed with the rest. The team that combines speed and accuracy with the most frequency will win the race! (view a Preview Clip)
Features: up to 10 drivers each with their own custom voices (10 teams), fun Hazards (adds a bit of “chance” to gameplay) for a constant entertaining, educational, experience.
Create your game by using the same easy question selection techniques as shown in the “Polling Activity” below.

Polling Activity

Polling Choices
When creating a Poll you have the option of using existing questions (from our libraries or user-made) or activity bar questions.
|

Polling Options
You will have the option to create an activity from scratch, open an existing activity, resume an in-progress poll or review a past poll.
|

Adding Questions
You can easily add questions to your poll by browsing our subject classification tree, your state standard alignment (if available), or by using our handy search feature.
|
|

Roll Call
At the beginning of the poll your students will “sign-in” by clicking any key on their remote. You can notice here, 2 students are not in-class and will not take part in the poll.
|
|
|
In Progress Poll Options
By clicking the “?” mark button on the teacher remote you can access the poll options menu at any time. Here you can view a “Wand Key Guide”, hold an “Impromptu Poll” (where you can add a new question on-the-fly, verbally, or by showing a power-point slide or any other media) or sign-in a late student.
|

Every student will have a chance to log their answer choice for the question displayed. Their remote numbers are featured at the bottom of the screen.
|
|
|
Logging Answer Choices
When students use their wand’s to enter in answer choices the software displays a color-coded system to let you know what they are doing. An on screen counter also allows you to know how many students have yet to give an answer choice.
|
|
|
Poll Question Percentage
For fast and instant results you can “Lock” a question, which means no more responses will be accepted. If a question is “Locked” you can then display overall class statistics for that question.
|
|
|
Poll Review
At the end of your session you will have an on-screen review for your class. You can see what portion of your class answered correctly for each question as well as jump back to a question for further review. You can also view a bar graph displaying the results.
|
|
Activity Bar
|
|
|
Docked Activity Bar
Sometimes you may want to use a variety of “out-sourced” questions. These may come in the form of simply asking a question to your class or displaying a photo, video, powerpoint slideshow, webpage, etc. If this is the case our handy “Activity Bar” will dock itself at the bottom of your screen and allow you to show your custom question while students can log their answers. Once a question is answered you will then input the correct answer and the scores will be recorded.
|
|
|
Activity Bar - With Website
Display virtually any on-screen program to ask your question. Here we have taken a question off of a website to display to the class.
|
|
|
Activity Bar - Powerpoint
Include your Powerpoint presentations in a class-wide poll. You can easily navigate through your slides by using your Teacher Remote, and your students can enter in their answer electronically VIA their remotes. You also have the ability to use standard powerpoint functions such as drawing and highlighting. Displayed here is a demo question we created in Powerpoint.
|
|
|
Activity Bar - Paint Program
With a built-in painting/drawing program you can instantly create new or modify existing images and display them to your class while asking a question.
