Battledecks

I think Tom and Jim, who blog at Bionic Teaching, are two of the freshest voices in educational blogging. I’m a little late on commenting on this post about Battledecks, a very funny and challenging powerpoint karaoke game played at the SXSW festival. What makes Tom’s post particularly helpful is he includes ideas for how this might be integrated in a variety of different classes. And, he makes an important caveat: you can’t do this well with just bulleted lists of information. I’m a visual learner so went looking for video of the Battledecks competition.

Here’s the video from Rocketboom:

I’m already thinking about doing this with my undergrads on Monday! Or, at least show them the video.
