Arcademic Skill Builders



ARCADEMIC SKILL BUILDERS is a set of the most AMAZING online games (math/language arts/geography/keyboarding) that kids ACTUALLY want to play!
And here’s why: Students each create a PLAYER and can player multiplayer games AGAINST other students in the class!!!

Here’s how it works!... I've attached a link to my newly created YouTube Channel, where I've recorded step-by-step instructions to creating games and passwords and finding friends/classmates online.  Feel free to show the video to your class in the computer lab if you'd like!

 

And then let it go! After a few tries, the students were able to CREATE games, search for friends’ games, and join on their own.  Even the little ones will get the hang of it! I was amazed to see even my most difficult kids get excited! In a few split-seconds we went from “WHAT?! Math games?! Seriously?” to “WHOA!!! Dude! Join MY game! Join MINE!” They LOVED it.
