GUI Jeopardy Review
The problem
Students review the basic components of GUIs and the code needed to implement them. I found when working on Program 2 that I had to do some review of these concepts and I feel that it could be helpful to other students who haven't worked with GUIs in a while.
Participants and props
A whole class could participate in this game. The class will be divided into groups by rows or location in the classroom. A Powerpoint slide displays the game board and one of the teams chooses a category and dollar value to select the question. To record answers a Google spreadsheet and companion submission form will be used. The students append their group/row number so the answers correspond to them.
The script
1. The class is divided into teams.
2. The moderator displays the game board using a PowerPoint slide and randomly selects which team will play first.
3. The team selected to go first chooses a category and a dollar value and the moderator reads the answer.
4. The teams submit their answers and after 15 seconds the spreadsheet containing their answers is displayed by the moderator.
5. The team that provides the correct question receives the corresponding dollar value and gets to choose the next category and dollar value.
6. If no team provides the correct question, the team that selected last continues.
7. This process is repeated until all the answers have been chosen.
8. When all answers have been chosen the moderator announces the team with the most money as the winner of the game.
