Think flash cards with a Twist.
The initial idea of this came from personal experiences where I learnt that the best way for me to learn was through storytelling and listening to others.
I remember having a Classics exam and I just couldn’t remember any of it. Before the exam, I sat with my friends and listened while they tested each other. End result – I got one of the highest grades in the school year.
Around that time I started to learn French and would get my verbs wrong. I realized that by listening to the way a word was used in a sentence, would tell me instantly if that word was understood or not. I used this experience later on in my teaching by getting my students to put the vocabulary taught into sentences based around a scenario. This challenged the student to look for connections. It also helped others listening to see if the word was right or not and learn from it passively. From there ConnectorGames was born and from those activities and a little bit of gamification we now have a card game platform. Keep checking back as we bring out more topics and titles.
