Using Games to Promote Evidence-Based Learning

By Christopher Piehler, THE Journal


Ashlee CornettFor educators around the country, teaching to new Common Core or state standards has meant a lot of work. For one Florida librarian, it has also meant a lot of play. Ashlee Cornett (pictured), who teaches at Parkway Middle School in Osceola County, uses the game-show style platform Cranium CoRE to encourage her students not just to answer questions about what they have read, but also to discuss why their answer is correct. Cornett, who used Cranium CoRE at two previous schools before she came to Parkway, said that the online platform is “a nice break from the paper and pencil model, and the kids like it because they work in teams and they think they’re playing a game.”
