Abstract

This session will present strategies for developing content specific, leveled electronic games in upper grade elementary classrooms using the Excel© program. Included are three games connected with the study of affixes, roots, cognates, and the origins of words: Cognados-Cognates Connect, Borrowed, Before, Base, and Beyond, and Criss Cross Challenge. These games extended and solidified students’ word knowledge, contributed to the cultivation of a community of learners, piqued students’ interest in technology, and developed word consciousness, an awareness of and an interest in words and their meanings.
