Example Post
Technology: Educational Gaming
- Lesson Idea: I would use Quizizz to help students revise Form 2 Mathematics topics such as percentages and ratios. Each group would compete to answer multiple-choice questions on the projector.
- Learning Benefit: This keeps students alert and excited while reinforcing problem-solving skills. It also allows me to see which areas they find most difficult.
