I'm actually exploring a Flash Jeopardy game as a way to do the gRATs without using the IF-AT forms. Just haven't had time to work through everything yet to see if it will work. The consideration is to not lose the collaboration that happens in the group process. While the jeopardy game is we-based, it would be used in the classroom. It seems to me that there should be an app for that! Hum, anyone have a media program at their institution whose students need a project to work on?
