I found this link in the forum about The Human Skeleton. and yes I can see that on a Friday afternoon as a games quiz it could be great fun to check levels of understanding on a particular topic.

I would now like to offer a personal point of view.

I find it extremely disappointing that all of the links and tools are made outside the State in which I operate in as a teacher / educator .

The spell checker is American, therefore we end up with errors that we then pass on to the pupils in our care if we are not careful.

I think we need to be very careful about how we approach these tools and their use, as the creation of these resources creates an extra burden on an already stretched teaching load and there is the potential to reduce our actual contact time.

A much better idea, in my opinion, is to use the wealth of free resources and games created by teachers, that can be obtained on the Promethean resources site for the Irish curriculum.. I have just gone onto the Promethean site and found several excellent quizzes / resources.

I am not sure why new is always a better solution.
