  1. Opening the website took me forever plus the site was just a blank page. I trust it's an interesting game and students will like it. This LP is related to the article you reviewed huh?

    Like the follow up activity

  2. Playing games during class? Ohooo me likey! But constant attention would be needed from the teacher to make sure the objectives are achieved. Kalau tak, the students would just be playing the games without paying much focus to the learning activity

  3. i don't quite understand how the game works, plus without the handouts, i don't really have the idea of what the lesson is about. However, i believe it will grasp the students' attention as long as the 'loading' did not take up too much time.

  4. Playing games??!!! hohoho.. if only you were my teacher back in school days.. man, would i get an A for every test.. hahahahaha...
    Simple activity, I like!!! but need to monitor the students. cant have the students playing games without finishing the worksheet.. and you will encounter trouble when trying to pry the students off the computer when lesson is over.. Games can gives you +ve and -ve outcomes..

  8. Wow... Thanks for all the comments :)
    Sorry it took forever for me to respond, I just got back from the States, where apparently if you don't have a laptop, access to the internet is just an idea (unless of course, you can afford the ridiculous price for temporary WiFi access in the hotel room).
