A Different Way to Review

Are you looking for a new way to review classroom material besides having your students play a review game? What if they had to create their own review game instead? Let your students become the teacher for the day and create their own review questions. This promotes critical thinking skills, helps them review their material, and by creating both the question and the answer they prove mastery over the topic. Check out my sample lesson plan below!

Minecraft for Education

Hey!

Have you heard of gamifying your classroom? It's the idea of transforming your classroom through gaming! Minecraft is a phenomenal tool to add to your classroom! I created a project that asked students to re-create an ancient city and add modern technology to it. Minecraft was the perfect tool for the jobs and my students fell in love with this project! It brought a whole new level of entertainment, engagement, and a deeper learning to my classroom! Check out my lesson plan and a student's Minecraft project below!
