G-Cubed Trivia Questions
The "G-Cubed" trivia game can be found on-line at the Professor Garfield
web site. After clicking on "G-Cubed," players are prompted to enter their initials
then choose an "avatar," or cartoon character, to represent themselves as they
play. Players choose an opponent from the game lobby or play Professor
Garfield. Players decide to play the game at the "beginner" or "expert" level
then the categories are chosen and the game begins!
The G-Cube game board is made up of nine boxes and is played like tictac-toe. Winning three boxes or questions in a row earns the player an extra
three pOints during each of the three matches. Each opponent chooses to
answer a question from these five categories: Science, Reading and Literature,
Music, Headlines and History, and Miscellaneous.
G-Cubed trivia questions are written to be challenging, interesting and
FUN! They need to be appealing to students and yet imaginative and insightful
to fit the needs of each elementary teacher. Questions will be split into two or
three levels of difficulty. The content for them comes from various sources such
as books of lists, almanacs, a Guiness Book of World Records, television shows,
pop culture magazines, and the children's section in local libraries. The
"questions" are not written in the form of true inquiry, but can easily be matched
up or finished off with one of three multiple choice answers that follow the
questionative statement.

Professor Garfield Web Site Student Feedback
Upon the completion of my thesis, the Professor Garfield web site has not
been launched for complete use by the public. Many educational activities are
still being created and the content for these games is continually be produced
and perfected. PAWs and The Professor Garfield Foundation have the goal of
premiering the web site later this year at www.professorgarfield.com.
Many parts of The Professor Garfield web site have been created and are
up and running on an on-line beta site. The creators of the web site are
primarily adults with degrees in the arts or computer technology, not the
audience the web site targets. We decided that students and teachers need to
view the web site and that their ideas and feedback would be important in
creating activities that would be stimulating, fun and educational.
I created a Student Feedback form to give to the fourth grade classroom I
student taught in. Students will explore Professor Garfield's Laboratory as they
perform a series of seven challenges. By following the directions listed in their
Feedback booklet, they will discover and play the games that have been created
by The Professor Garfield Foundation. Throughout this process, students and
teachers are asked a variety of questions in order to gain an insight to the
wishes and needs of each participant. This information is extremely important as
we strive to meet the goal of becoming the most visible and highly trafficked free
educational web site in the world.
