Searching for an engaging way to review information with students? There is an AI-powered Jeopardy game maker you’ll want to try out this school year. It’s called Factile, and the unique Buzzer Mode creates a gameshow-like experience in your classroom!
If we’ve connected on a webinar or at an in-person workshop this year, you know I love sharing ways to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) for instructional planning. With an AI-powered tool like Factile, you can create a Jeopardy game customized to your learning goals and your students’ needs.
Today on the blog, we’ll take a look at Factile and how you can try it out for free this school year!
Jeopardy Game Maker
I love Jeopardy, and growing up, we watched it almost every evening. My aunt (and godmother) was even a contestant several years ago. So, earlier this summer, when I saw Factile in action, I was excited to share it with you. With this Jeopardy game maker, teachers can create their own games or choose from a library of ready-to-use templates.
There is a lot of flexibility in how you might use this tool with your students. Not only can you choose the topic and focus, of course, but you can also decide what kind of questions you want to create. For example, your questions and answers can include text, or you can add math equations or upload images to each one. Images, videos and sound can all be either included with text or be shown without text in questions and answers. You can also add math equations as a standalone or embedded with other text, like in a word problem.
All of the options in this Jeopardy game maker give you the ability to determine what’s best for your student review game. You can even decide to share the games you make or locate in different formats. Students can also play games in Factile in Multiple-Choice, Memory Match, or Quiz Bowl format. To extend the review experience, teachers can share a link so students can use Flashcards based on the game content.
Using AI to Make Games
Student review games existed before ChatGPT came on the scene. However, there is a way you can use AI alongside this Jeopardy game maker. The new AI feature in Factile is called AutoGen. It automatically generates Jeopardy games based on grade and subject. This can save you lots of time as you design the perfect review game or supplemental resource to share with your students.
If you’ve used AI tools in the past you already know how they can act as an assistant or a collaborator. By using the AutoGen feature in Factile you can accomplish your goal of creating an engaging review game for your students, and it won’t take too much time. I love that the team at Factile are offering this option alongside their Jeopardy game maker.
AI-powered tools like Factile don’t just save you time—they also open up opportunities for creativity in your instructional design. Whether you’re teaching elementary students foundational concepts or high schoolers more advanced material, Factile’s flexibility allows you to adapt the game to suit different age groups and subjects.
Using Games in Your Classroom
There are plenty of reasons to introduce games to your students as a form of review. When used strategically, a game like the one you create with Factile can boost student engagement and build community in your classroom. As I mentioned earlier, I love how you are in the driver’s seat. You can customize the content and experience for your students. And, of course, I’m excited that they are leveraging AI to help you save time creating these engaging activities for students, too.
