When you get it wrong, a new slide shows up sharing the correct information and extending the learning experience. If you correctly answer a question, there is also a new slide that shares some of the misconceptions that others have had about the question. I would place this resource at the middle school level and would use is to help students identify a problem for their research. Maybe they could creating some kind of a sustained research project where they integrate learning subjects from various content areas (English, science, math) to develop a presentation of their findings. I'd probably use ...
