I was at this Alternative Ed Conference and a guy walked by and said

“That game should be used in every class in America! The last 10 minutes of class - the teacher should play BrainSavvy to review what she has just taught.”

BrainSavvy works as a way for two students to study together! They just ask each other questions from the lesson, homework or review. You can lay the flexible BrainSavvy gameboard flat on their desks, the brain magnets don’t slide around. It’s great fun for two!

At risk students are creative misfits. They don’t quite fit into the traditional definition of students. They are in a difficult developmental stage because it’s hard to find out who you are if you don’t fit in; if you are a creative misfit.
