CLASSROOM JEOPARDY! EDITOR
AND 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.
