This is a powerful interface: you create one set of questions, then you can choose from four different interactive quizzes.

Your question sets can be saved for future development and editing, and even hosted on a website as HTML pages!

Note for Web Developers:
After saving a quiz, you can dynamically direct players to a particular type of game by appending a querystring function to the end of the hyperlink pointing to the game, thus allowing you to create several separate games from one master quiz. The format is as follows:

quiz.htm = Default
quiz.htm?GP=manic = Manic Miner
quiz.htm?GP=wordshoot = Wordshoot
quiz.htm?GP=cannonball = CannonBall Fun
quiz.htm?GP=pairs = Matching Pairs

For my fellow geeks - in case you were wondering, I use the prefix "GP" to signify "Game Preselected".

As a homework, get students to prepare a set of questions.

In class, students work in pairs / small groups to identify their best 20 questions / answers.

These are then typed into the interface, and then the game is saved onto the school network.

Each student then plays the game, and merits are awarded to the students with the fastest "best time" after 20 minutes.

• Students could come to the front and take it in turns to add their questions into the interface if there is only one computer / interactive whiteboard.
• The game can then be saved by the teacher onto the network and then played as described above.
