Online Bible games and Trivia questions:

Online Games are a versatile teaching tool which can effectively encourage students to extend their learning and development. They can motivate students to want to learn, think and apply their knowledge in a fun, social and interactive way. I would implement this high- interest activity as a Trivia class activity for my students to collectively learn more about the Word of God in a more enjoyable and informal way. In line with the Vygotsky’s Constructivist theory, learning is a social and interactive process where individuals construct meaning based on their previous knowledge, experiences and social setting. (Hein, 1991)

I believe this online game is a good cognitive tool in the learning environment as it would stimulate and engage the students to interact and extend their knowledge of the faith as a ‘community of learners’. On a personal level, students can reflect on what they do and don’t know in the Bible and how they can better understand and live the word of God in their own personal lives. Specifically this ICT, in relation to Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences would mostly support the linguistic, Interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences. (Smith, 2002) Learners would be using words and language to communicate and answer the questions within their Trivia groups. Furthermore, this ICT would encourage learners to use their higher order thinking skills to analyse, self- examine and evaluate their own spirituality and its priority in their daily lives.
