Stu’s Double Jeopardy, Great fun for basic facts.

As much as it pains me to have to boot into my windows virtual machine (feel the mac snob coming out in me there) Stu’s Double Jeopardy makes me do just that.

While I have made up Jeopardy games before in Powerpoint and lately in Smart’s Notebook this is so easy and looks so good. There is also a lot of information on the site in the way of help files for everything from creating custom skins to adding music files. I found that my Year 11 class took about 45 minutes on the American Government Review game and now look forward to seeing what their recall is like come moodle test time.

    Hey Richard, glad you like it and thanks for the write-up. It does also run in Windows on your Mac using Parallels!
    Not sure if you spotted my other little app – http://studentresponsenetwork.com – while the server module requires a Windows PC, the clients can be Win/OSX/Linux. See what you think.

    Very easy to heap praise on something as good as this. And in the process of the studentresponse network now. School was in the process of spending thousands on clickers. Keep up the good work.
