Teaches: utility for game show quizzes

CTR Review

Teachers and kids will get a kick out of this quiz-making program. It uses the humorous context of a game show, complete with host and beautiful sidekick "Geena Gorgiosso." The program is far from perfect due to some design flaws. It took us a while, for example, to figure out how to delete players, and we found the pace for more than one player a bit slow. There's no buzzing in answers, so the same questions are asked of each child (only a problem if there's more than one player). Several quizzes come with the program, but the best part is that kids or adults can easily enter their own questions and answers, a nice way to practice facts from just about any subject area. The accompanying music, characters and comments are funny and gameshow-like.
