Special Education Law Jeopardy Game
- Alignments: 9j, 9o
- Description: This synchronous activity is set up to be played just like the television Jeopardy Game. If you opt to use the downloadable slide deck version (which is an OER), you could make this resource into a collaborative study tool. Ask your students to select terms for the game and directly submit them to you ahead of time (perhaps as a low-stakes online assignment), then load their chosen terms into the game. Students may enjoy seeing their input receiving public acknowledgement, which can increase engagement.
