Language and communication is at the heart of society. Learning how to use language to communicate wants and have needs met can be a complex task for many children. Our course will explore how language develops and the intricate challenges many children face who experience a variety of physical, emotional and cognitive difficulties.

Yes, this game could be used in a classroom...depending on what grade level. I find it frustrating though, because it doesn't tell you what the RIGHT answer was if you got it WRONG! LOL
I have seen teachers incorporate the use popular tv shows, like this one, into their lesson plans. The best example I saw used was a history class that played "Survivor", but they were characters from the Civil War. Very cool. Anyway, I am anxious to see where you are going with the question, Mrs. White........
Hey,
How do you post a blog on this thing. I am lost and I can't seem to figure it out!
can you please email me at Carolyn_dace@eku.edu
Also, did you take the test...what type of questions are on the test??
thanks
I believe that you could use a game of this sort but role-play it rather than on the computer. I feel that too many teachers are relying on the computers too much to teach their classes. The questions online I feel would be too difficult for our students (seeing as I could only get to the $4,000 question). But, I know that growing up, I used to love the days our class would play Jeopardy as a review game!
Carolyn,
You need to accept the invitation to become an author on the blog in order to be able to create a new post. I have resent this to you.

I believe that the idea of this game could be used in the classroom. I coach a boys soccer team and they are at the age where competition is what drives them to be better soccer players. I believe that (to an extent) this idea can be transformed into the classroom. Children do learn through competition and a game like "Who wants to be a millionare" can make learning competetive and fun. The nice thing about this game is that you can pull questions from every subject area that your classroom is studying making questions available for everyones strengths (giving everyone a chance to get a question correct).
I feel like this would be a great game to play in the classroom as long as one could change the questions so that they pertain to class materials and instructions. Also instead of allowing them to win money they could possibly win bonus points, special treats, or even candy.
I think this would be a great game to play in class. Although with special ed. students the questions would have to be much simpler. They love to do games and learning with a game is so much fun they often don't realize that they are learning new info. i do agree with Rachel that a prize from the class treasure box is a great incentive for motivation.
This type of game could be used in a classroom. you could recreate it to go along with the lesson at hand. It would be great for the class to prepare for an upcoming test over the chapter or unit. Of course the questions would have to be on the level of the group of children, but this would be a fun and exciting way of learning. Instead of money, the students could earn extra recess or a piece of candy.
I enjoy this blog for the fact that this game is a great idea that i would have never thought of on my own and i appreciate when everyone shares there ideas. This could be a great way to help the students get involved and want to learn. It could also be a great game for a review day to keep the students thinking positive on the upcoming test.
