The Discrete Trial Teaching Game

An Interactive And Fun Way To Learn

 Designer:  Brian T. Lavoie 

Client: April - Ms. Rebecca Flynn’s class– Ferryway School in Malden, MA 

Abstract  

            The Discrete Trial Teaching Game (DTTG) provides a fun and interactive way for students to learn. This device utilizes lights, sounds and the enjoyment of candy to make this learning method more engaging and less distracting to the student. The DTTG uses simple logic to determine correct and incorrect choices and LED’s, an ISD2560 chip-corder and a candy dispenser to provide reinforcement to the student for the choices he or she makes. This device is fun, interactive, and user friendly for teachers and students with simple manipulation of switches.
