Std. VI-A: Total no. of students: 41
• The Snap Card game was played with the entire class as one large group.
• The Snap Card game was followed by the practice and test sessions.
• Finally, an assignment was administered to the students.
GENERAL CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS
• The Snap Card game brought a lot of stress free learning to the classrooms.
•The practice and test modules lead to complete content retention.
• Being able to create her own set of Questions easily, and obtain outputs like
Snap Cards, Worksheets, interactive Practice and Test sessions gave the
teacher just the outcomes that she wanted, namely; her own independence
in terms of being able to create her own Questions, as well as a tremendous
improvement in scores. And both these outcomes were achieved without any
major burden.
•YO QUESTIONS proved to be a very effective and easy-to-use software ever
used by this school in classroom teaching for collaborative learning, and as a
tool for easy self-practice and self-testing.
