Another online game platform but this one may be the best one yet for promoting mastery learning
Another online game platform but this one may be the best one yet for promoting mastery learning
In a perfect world, we would monitor each students learning and growth by name and need. One student may need help with mastering causes of the War of 1812. Another cant remember the 3/5 Compromise. How to structure instruction so that each students individualized needs are met?
A free online game platform that could certainly help is called BrainRush.
BrainRush allows you (or your students) to create learning games that adapt to the learning skill of each player. To learn about BrainRush I took one of the activities that they had prepared on the Civil Rights Movement. Whenever I answered a question incorrectly (whoops), that question was pushed back into the deck of upcoming questions. It was then repeated in a different way several times, giving me extra chances to become confident in the correct answer and demonstrate my mastery.This video (1:23) gives you a good short introduction to how BrainRush works.
BrainRush has four learning-game formats:
- Cards Template: Just like flashcards. Great for vocabulary; students match the front to the back of cards.
- Buckets Template: A categorization activity; students drop and drag text, images, and/or audio into the correct bucket.
- Sequencing Template: A chronology or list-order activity; students drag and drop items in order.
- Hotspots Template: Students are presented with one image containing 10-15 hotspots, each one corresponding to a different concept to learn. They match the concept to the hotspot on the map. Hotspots Templates are best for diagrams and maps.
The last template was the most fun to create and play. For my practice I uploaded a blank outline map of the contiguous 48 states, and created four hotspots. I then associated a concept (like the Missouri Compromise Line) to each hotspot.
Playing my activity as a student, I was first shown the image (the map) with the four hotspots I had created. My first concept was in the left margin, and in the first round, I had to click on the correct hotspot to demonstrate mastery. Later in the Round 2 I was shown a hotspot and asked to type the correct concept in a dialogue box.
What was great was that I could not complete the activity until I gave correct answers to every concept. And the activity was personalized for my learning. Every time I made a mistake, questions about that topic were repeated (several times, interspersed with other questions) until I got it correct several times in a row.
Once you create your activity you post it to the online classroom that you create for your students.
One thing thats great about BrainRush is the amount of online teacher support it gives. It currently has 9 general video tutorials and three other describing BrainRushs game templates.
BrainRush makes creating engaging and effective activities that promote individualized mastery learning that much more achievable.

Amir Khan’s Dangal To Be A Trend Setter The 400 Crore Club
Amir Khan’s Dangal To Be A Trend Setter The 400 Crore Club
Aamir Khan might not be one of the most followed Khans but he is one of the biggest stars for his choice of films and the way he executes them. He doesn’t break records, but sets new trend for people to follow or break them. PK is yet the highest grossing film ever and Dangal movie is nothing different. Keep reading this this blog topic by CRB Tech Reviews to know more.
Dangal day 5 box office collection earned the movie Rs 132.43 crore in India until Monday and its Tuesday collection gonna break records.
Dangal has received loads of love at the B.O. that the film’s lead star, Aamir Khan, was overwhelmed to express his gratitude to the audience. As the film crossed the Rs 200-crore mark worldwide box office collection, the actor took to Twitter and tweeted, “Thank you for all the love and warmth, and thank you for owning our film. Love. Team Dangal.”
Dangal has gained Rs 132.43 crores in the domestic market in just 4 days and broken many records in the process. To mention, its Monday box office collection was the highest seen this year, which overtook Salman Khan’s Sultan also.
The film topped it off with it’s brilliant Monday collection of Rs 25.48 crore. Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh shared said that it’s splendid and fabulous FABULOUS. With the film passing the crucial weekday test, it is obvious that Dangal is the dhobhi pacchad that the B.O. really needed.
Even at the international market, the film is going strong. It has earned Rs 76.16 crores from the overseas market. Dangal is also all time highest grosser in North America. Just to remind, the record was previously held by Aamir Khan’s film Dhoom 3.
With a domestic collection of Rs 132.43, Dangal becomes the third highest grosser of 2016 after Sultan and Dhoni’s biopic, which collected Rs 300.45 crores and Rs 133.04 crore respectively. It is expected that Dangal would overtake MSD biopic’s earning with its Tuesday earnings.
With no major Hindi releases next weekend, the film is likely to enter Rs 200-crore club very soon. Add the overseas Dangal collections and the lifetime collection of Dangal can be around Rs 300-350 crore. And that leaves us wondering if Dangal could start a new Rs 400-crore club for Bollywood films!
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, the film also stars Sakshi Tanwar, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra along with the Mr. Perfectionist. The film is about the real-life story of Mahavir Singh Phogat who trained his daughters to become world-class wrestlers.
Here we enlist the three records which Aamir Khan’s Dangal broke in India:
1. Dangal did better than compared to Salman Khan’s Sultan on its 1st Monday. While Sultan earned Rs 15.54 crore, Dangal gained Rs 25.48 crore.
2. Dangal had the biggest one-day collection on a Sunday as it earned Rs 42.35 crore.
3. Aamir Khan’s film made the maximum collection ever on a Christmas Day, which happened to be a Sunday this time.
So what are you waiting? If you haven’t watched yet go and watch Dangal full movie; the biggest blockbuster of the year.
