I was looking for a Deal or No Deal template to play with our school as a TAKS reward. I never found one that worked for us so I created my own. This is how I used it. First I put the star over the case that the kids chose. Then I started the slide show. As the kids opened the cases, I clicked on the character which makes it disappear, then I clicked on the case, which revealed the prize. For mine I used disney animated gifs, but did not know if I was allowed to use them as I uploaded them to the DEN. So I replaced the animated gifs with animated clipart from office. I used the U turn button on the bottem right to go to the reward board, and the home button to get back to the original screen of characters. As the cases were opened I clicked on the prize that was revealed in the prize board. After each class played I mixed up the cases so that the kids did not know what each case held. We had a lot of fun with this. So I decided to share it with you all. Deal or No Deal, Game, Reward

The issue of homework has at times been a national political issue, as when student achievement is compared to other educational practices around the world. The conception seems to be that the more time American school children spend at home doing homework, the higher their academic achievement will be. Although this reasoning has some relevance to student performance, there needs to be some guidance for how homework will be used to support effective teaching and learning practices.
