Don't worry, Creedy. It was Salami trying to second guess what the final round might be. The rest of us are willing to wait to find out, after we've dealt with the next clues!

lol, yes, Creedy, my mind is racing as to what the final leg WILL be... I've got several ideas myself; I can only imagine how devious the final clue will be.

Maybe we'll have to write a question for every category we didn't do in each leg.

That gives me time to get my Author Challenge finished and submitted, as well as time to work on my quiz for the Sultans of Swing challenge.

I wish they could utilise this site in schools. It'd be excellent for kids - fun and learning combined. Quizzes would just need to be written to fit the Syllabus etc and contain very precise info.
The kids could get badges as the progress as well. And the beauty about it is that, should they not get high marks one day, they could retake a quiz on the following day, get it right, and then feel positive about learning, and ENJOY it. Those badges and green ticks would be great for that. And they're not challenging anyone else, just themselves.
Learning should be fun for children, not a chore. Positive messages could be incorporated into every correct answer as well, so that learning and fun would become synonymous terms for them.
(Just ignore me. I like to don my teacher's cap every so often. I'm talking to myself)

A friend of mine had a stroke about a year ago and she uses FT for improving her co-ordination and for getting her brain working properly again. Since she started on it her right side, which was the affected one, has improved about 60% on what it was, her speech is back to pretty much normal as well. Stroke units round here use computers quite regularly now as part of the physio.

Teachers in my school sometimes use quizzes here as an entertaining approach to material. The English Language and Literature classes have found lots of interesting and relevant material once I showed them how to find it.

I have shown several quizzes to my teachers in the past about a subject relevant to the syllabus, and good scores usually resulted in extra credit. :-)

That's excellent :) Photo quizzes would work really well too. Especially with geography. Ugh, I hated that subject at school. It was sooooo boring. Reams of words, no pictures.

I even wrote a quiz about the material I studied in school and showed my teacher. She posted it for everyone else to play, but I was the one who got the extra extra extra credit for making a quiz. :-). Plus extra credit when it got sunnies ;-)

I think if you can get students of any age interested in something they will go on and learn more, often voluntarily. A quiz, that gives them snippets of information but whets the appetite, is a good way of doing that I think.

Do they actually use the word "syllabus" in Colorado Salami? Here they call it "curriculum". It's nice that you got recognition, but most folks prefer anonymity for "good works" : )
Any sort of "interactive" learning is great. Many children learn best in either a "hands-on" environment or one that is otherwise "fun" (so yes, "quizzes", at least in this format, qualify - not talking about those surprise quizzes some teachers subjected us to LOL). A good example of that can be found with our own Copago, who home-schools due to geographical remoteness. Check out the photo thread for her family's latest history lessons : )

Here the Syllabus is the broad, overall description of what's to be covered. The curriculum is more specific to the content of the various stages/course.
Syllabus = where am I going. Curriculum = how do I get there.

Ooh I just made up a tongue twister. Bet you can't say "The thorough syllabus" ten times. Quickly.
