Information about “CLASSROOM JEOPARDY”
Answer: An excellent new teaching aid for your classroom. Question:
What is CLASSROOM JEOPARDY?
If you feel your students are getting bored with the same, old
routine, try this new program from DEC Software. Important subjects
such as history, math, and science become classroom fun instead of
classroom headaches. Teachers may design their own questions (or
rather, answers) with the registered version, or use answers provided
by the program.
Answers will be presented in gigantic letters on the screen and can be
seen by students up to sixty feet away. Select your teams (two or three
are suggested by the programmer) and divide your classroom into
corresponding groups. CLASSROOM JEOPARDY will prompt you for a team
name and then ask you to assign them any key on the keyboard to ring in
for their responses. Repeat this process for each team.
Two rounds of CLASSROOM JEOPARDY are played along with a final CLASSROOM
JEOPARDY answer. Correct responses can be printed through the DOS print
command. Point values range from 100 to 500 for the first round, 200 to
1,000 for the second round. Final CLASSROOM JEOPARDY wagers are based
upon points available and daily doubles are found in each round. You
need to keep score manually for each team. The team with the most
points is the winner.
Registered users receive the current version of CLASSROOM JEOPARDY, a
module that allows customizing answers to fit course content and a
complete user's manual. An entertaining yet challenging game.

Steps prior to playing CLASSROOM JEOPARDY
-----------------------------------------
o The class is divided into 2 or 3 teams.
o A captain from each team is stationed near the computer keyboard.
o The CLASSROOM JEOPARDY game is started by typing "JP-GAME".
[Registered users have the option of entering answers of their
own choosing. This allows the instructor to tailor CLASSROOM
JEOPARDY to be completely compatible with the actual course
content.]
Playing CLASSROOM JEOPARDY
--------------------------
Preliminary Steps
1. Set up for 1-3 teams, by typing the appropriate number.
2. Each captain chooses a key (the TEAM KEY) to type when
his/her team wants to respond.
3. Each team chooses a team name and types it in.
4. If you wish to have a display of the time remaining in
CLASSROOM JEOPARDY, answer "Y" and type in the number
of minutes that you want.
5. Choose if you want to have sound effects used during play.
6. A listing of CLASSROOM JEOPARDY 'answer' files will be
displayed, select the 'answers' of your choice and type the
carriage return <CR>.
Actual Play
1. One captain uses the arrow keys to highlight an amount and
category for the answer.
2. When the proper square is chosen, the carriage return or any
TEAM KEY is typed.
3. The answer is displayed in gigantic letters.
4. The captain, looking over his/her team, types the TEAM KEY
when one of his/her team members raise his/her hand.
5. The computer will display which TEAM KEY was pressed first.
(both audibly and on the screen)
6. The captain of that team then calls on a member of his/her
team to respond (should be in the form of a question).
7. The instructor (acting as moderator) decides if the response
is correct, and adds (or subtracts) points accordingly.
8. If a team gives an incorrect response, then the other teams
may make an attempt to respond and receive (or lose) points.
9. The last correct 'questioner' is allowed to choose the
category and amount of the next answer.
10. There is a DAILY DOUBLE. The team picking the DAILY DOUBLE may
wager any portion of their total (or up to 500).
11. When time has expired (either if the timer runs out or at
the discretion of the moderator), move to DOUBLE JEOPARDY
(type F1 then D). After DOUBLE JEOPARDY, all teams with
a positive score may play FINAL JEOPARDY.
12. FINAL JEOPARDY (to get to FINAL JEOPARDY, type F1 then F) can
be handled any way that the instructor desires. One very
effective way, is to have the captain wager any portion of
their point total. When the answer is displayed, each team
member writes his/her question on a sheet of paper. Each
response counts the amount of the wager. Using this method
affords each team member a chance to play for the team.
Help during the game
During play, type the F1 key (the function key) and the
following screen will be displayed:
I Display <I>nstructions for play
S <S>ound is ON (or OFF)
D Move to <D>ouble Jeopardy
F Move to <F>inal Jeopardy
