Web 2.0 - eQuiz Show
Name: eQuizShow
URL: equizshow.com
This website creates a "Jeopardy" style game show, and allows two teams to play against each other in a friendly competition.
I can see this web tool being used in almost every single class, because it's a great and innovative way to assess the knowledge of students, while keeping them engaged. From a student's point of view, I think it would be best used in a presentation, to quiz their peers on what they'd just talked about.
The program itself is very easy to use; you simply create 5 categories of questions, and list 5 questions under each category. The questions should be ranked similarly to Jeopardy, with the easiest question in the first slot, and the hardest in the last slot.
