I used to love to teach history using programs like Oregon Trail. I also used to teach problem solving and critical thinking using Zoombinis.

How are these apps received by students? Do they fatigue from playing them and the wide variety of them over time? For example, if you play Blooket in math class, then Gimkit in Spanish then do a Kahoot in history in the same week do they get repetitive? Also, is it hard for the students to keep all the games straight?

Hi, love the content. watching your vids to build a product to help and improve the learning of a 3rd world country. was wondering whether its possible to get you on board for this project to advise us and our team on how we could make a successful product that would help under privileged students learn better.

Hi Sam thanks a lot for this awesome overview of these online educational games.... thanks to you I have discovered some excellent tools to enhance my online lessons.

However, some parents at my school aren’t too happy (in fact a few complained in writing) when they learn that their children are signing up to educational sites and platforms due to privacy concerns (the students are asked to provide personal identification info when signing up). What is your take on this? Or could you recommend some that have stricter security protection settings? TIA

Hi- want to know how to use pinwheel random selector tool- for playing games with students using various subjects

[karenzajackowski]

Some programs have a time limit. Does the free version have a time limit? I thought it said 15 minutes??? Am I misreading it?

[alexaraya]

I am looking for a simple way to let students look at a card with a drawing and choosing between two in order to learn vocabulary. what tool can help me do that?

I want to ask you something "out of topic": I saw a vid of yours talking about Forms to PDF/word. Do you remember what video was? Btw, nice vid on gamify learning.

[valeriahuaynates]

Prodigy has microtransactions and children don't know so don't use prodigy
