The Price (of Innovative Instructional Tools) Is Right

Audience Level: 
All
Institutional Level: 
Higher Ed
Abstract: 

In the style of The Price Is Right, audience members will learn about several innovative instructional tools. A short introduction will be given about each tool, and then four attendees (selected at random) will guess the price of a specific subscription to the tool. The one who guesses closest, without going over, will win a prize. 

Extended Abstract: 

As they enter the room, attendees will be given a numbered ticket. During the workshop, attendees will be selected at random (based on a drawn ticket) and invited to “come on down”.

I’ll give a brief overview of the tool, and then ask the contestants a question relating to the tool. The contestant that guesses the closest without going over will win a prize.

Several tools will be introduced, including GooseChase Virtual Scavenger Hunts, BreakoutEDU, and Merge Cubes.

New contestants will be selected for each round, and a new tool will be introduced each round.

There will not be a “showcase showdown”, nor will winners be invited to “spin the wheel”.
