Draw games

For the first tutorial we were asked to go to educational faculty’s library where we were divided into two groups because the amount of tesalian were quite a lot. Therefore, each group had around 21 students. My name was in first session, so, i supposed to attend the session at about 3pm. Due to several inevitable reasons I had to attend the second session. In this exciting session we were instructed to browse the website called http://drowgames.com/ to play an online game. The most interesting part was the announcement that was made by our Prof which sounded nice where he asked us to play the game as much as we can. The announcement seemed great to us because while we were learning we were also motivated by the prizes that were waiting for us depending on how much we play the game and score highest points. At first we had to register in order to play the game and once registered we were able to play the game. The game required a partner. Here our instructors took the responsibility of facilitating us where they appointed one of our partners to start the game and the game began.
There was information that I managed to find out about the game from the home page where drow is word in reverse,  and DrowGames is a word games generator  with tools (RestfulAPI) which enables game developers to  extract words (and their selected elements) from the DROW database and then link them to their games. As a word game developer you don’t need  to be a linguistic expert to create great games. You just need to be what you are good at – a creator of great games! With DrowGames, game developers  can select or create word lists of their choice based on the DrowGames corpus and generate their very own XML files to incorporate these word lists into their flash games. It’s as easy as that! So please feel free to explore DrowGames and use its facilities to generate the games that only you can dream of. This are the information that i able to find out about this game on the website.
This game really suits for lower secondary school students who easily frustrated with the normal classroom activities. The questions which was developed from easy to difficult enable students to determine in which level they are now and this questions enable them widen up their knowledge in language. Last but not least this game really a wonderful game and students for sure will get benefit from playing this game.
