I created a Non-linear PowerPoint, which is a Jeopardy game, using questions from High School Government class

2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments
Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS•S. Teachers
D. provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

Essential Question: This will be used primarily as a review tool. By using this to review instead of re-treading the material in the same way yet again, students will be much more active and involved, due to the competitive nature this is likely to tap into.

Description of the ‘relative advantage’ of any and all technology being used in this instructional activity: With this particular activity, once designed, it can be repeatedly used again with different classes, and the template once created can be easily modified for use with other material. Doing this activity in a non-technological fashion would be very impractical, and not nearly as effective.
