 * Quia** - online resource for games and quizzes. Browse through teacher-created games (hangman, battleship, jeopardy, concentration, flashcards, etc) in numerous subject areas, modify ones you like to suit your specific needs, or start from scratch and create your own games and quizzes. Students take the quizzes online and the site grades all the responses (except essays) for you. Great data available on student responses. All games and quizzes are completely customizable and students love it - they don't even realize they're studying!
