Advanced Technology Supplements! Classroom Interacvity CD-ROM The Classroom Interactivity CD-ROM will allow the instructor the ability to create a dynamic learning environment. The Classroom Interactivity CD-ROM contains four different software applications each resembling a popular game show format. These games reinforce material presented in each chapter by engaging the students in active participation, enhancing their learning experience. This is a great way to encourage active learning and to reinforce learning outside of the classroom.

Games included on CD-ROM (Note: Games are comprised of a variety of multiple choice, true/false, and fill-in-the-blank questions based on the content in the designated core textbook)

• The Ladder Game Answer the questions correctly and be the first to advance all the way to the top of the ladder. • Breakout of the Box Hurry and answer the question correctly before the time bomb explodes! Answer correctly and you “win” the amount selected. • Championship Select a dollar amount from any of the ve (5) colored sections. Answer the question correctly and you “win” the amount shown. Be careful not to answer incorrectly or that amount will be deducted from your overall score. • Hangman Deluxe Spin for the dollar amount you are playing for. Answer the question correctly then select a letter. The first person to guess the puzzle correctly wins!
