I believe you are referring to Gameshow Pro 3. It comes with Jeopardy,

Family Feud, Tic Tac Toe and Is That Your Final Answer. You program the

questions and the answers. The program is sold by Learningware.com.

If you are a POST agency in California, contact me off line and I will

provide additional information.

Take care,

I have an entire binder of activities used by dispatchers for dispatchers.

Many of these activities are on a CD now and some are on my personal website.

If you contact me off line I will send you the information.

Take care,

My husband just showed me a Jeapordy game that a co-worker found on the

internet that

you can change to add your own questions to. It is an interactive

powerpoint game. I will

find out where they found it and let you know.

I assume you use PCs for your work, so

How about some software for the people to use to get used to using Windows

or Windows based applications. One of the best for a real newbie is,

Solitaire.

I was so surprised how many people had very little exposure to a PC, much

less common Windows functions; copy/cut & paste, (that one seemed to cause

the most hell in our office anyway).

Beyond that, fully functional copies of all software you use (not live to

your system but to a Temp file or something similar) that they can practice

on that won't hurt the system if they crash it or lock it up.

One other item is to explain either in print or in a group setting, is why

the computer does some of the things it does. A Windows 101 if you will.

Are you making sure first that people like playing games? In training at my

first job we were forced to play games several hours a day and the worst of

them was that stupid bop it. I hated it. It was horrible. I've never been

much into board games, don't watch television so most of the TV based ones

passed me by -- give me a good jig saw puzzle any day but don't force me to

play some game.

To those of you who wanted the information on the Jeopardy game for training:

The person who I thought had it said that they found it on the internet by

doing a search for Jeopardy music at google.com.

I tried it but didn't have as much luck. I did find this site that may work

though: http://itech.fcps.net/trt10/PowerPoint.htm. It seems like the

same thing but I haven't had a chance to try it.

Hope it helps! ;-)
