CLASSROOM JEOPARDY! EDITORAND LINK

Classroom Jeopardy! Editor and Link are a software/hardware combination that let you write Classroom Jeopardy! games on a Macintosh or Windows computer and save them onto Classroom Jeopardy! cartridges. You can then print out the answer keys on your computer’s printer so that you can refer to them as you play a Classroom Jeopardy! game.

With Classroom Jeopardy! Editor, you simply fill in a game template on your computer. Then you plug Classroom Jeopardy! Link into the USB port of your computer and transfer the game content directly from your computer to your cartridge. The whole transfer takes only seconds!

The Classroom Jeopardy! Editor software allows you to view each clue exactly as it will appear on your TV screen. Special commands have also been added to make the game writing process more convenient. For example, with the click of your mouse, you can copy and paste your entries —from single clues to whole categories to complete rounds! Classroom Jeopardy! Editor even includes a handy Spell Checker function that lets you check the spelling of your game content quickly and easily.

With Classroom Jeopardy! Editor, you can also easily open games created in earlier versions of Classroom Jeopardy! so they can be edited, copied, and saved in the same way as new games that you have created with Classroom Jeopardy! Editor.
