Whack A Mole...Err Students?
Posted by Michael on 20 March 2005, 18:23 GMT
TI has designed a rather unique game entitled Classroom Countdown. I really don't know what to say. It's a classroom version of the classic Whack-A-Mole game - only instead of hitting moles, you have students who fall asleep at their desks. Your goal is to use your calculator, presumably as some sort of adrenaline-firing phaser device, to click on the students and keep them all awake. Should you find yourself in a tricky situation, there are four activities that will provide an energy boost to the entire class.
So teachers, go out there and slap your lazy students upside the head with a TI-84 Plus! Just watch out for lawsuits...

That pretty much proves it's real. Doesn't mean it's not stupid, or even just plain sad. Which it is. -_-
