In biology I reserve it for things that everyone should know (vocabulary) or things nobody will know (applying basics to new systems). Answering ing groups makes it more like pub trivia and less like war. But if your students don't respond well, don't use it again. Part of the fun of teaching is experimenting. | |

I'll try to do implement in my next class... it will probably take a couple tries to go smoothly though. Have you found that the competition really doesn't cause students to lose self esteem? College is already very competitive, and in general I'm very fostering a competitive winner/loser atmosphere. | |
