01 Deck toys

For educational online games

Use of Deck toys

Deck Toys gives the opportunity to educators to create a free account using an e-mail . Using this account they can create up to 3 online educational games. For the creation of the game, the teacher chooses the form/deck, and then teaching sets, with key words and their definitions. It could be one or more teaching sets. . Next, you create a game in the form of a route, during which the player, in order to proceed to the next phase, has to answer to a quiz or participate in another activity that has to do with the key words we have set. We may choose from a lot of activities for each stop of the player, before he/she reaches the finish line. This game might include pro-existing knowledge exploration in the start and self -evaluation (what have I learned) in the end.
