My Project

My students are very competitive and giving them the opportunity to learn and have fun while doing it is a plus!! My goals for this project is to create a bracket for competition between teams and classes and create a friendly learning competition. Students will be excited to play and try and learn as much as possible in order to win!

When students think that learning is all fun and games, it's a win-win scenario.

I hope to enhance their introduction to these topics with fun. Students tend to remember information more easily when there is a fun twist to the information being taught.
