JEOPARDY LABEL GAME Larry Schulze Pesticide Education Specialist University of Nebraska – Lincoln Extension

Notes to PSEP Educators  Keep this Slide No. 2 as “hidden” so that it will not be seen during your presentation.  After each question is addressed with your audience during the Jeopardy Game, click on the “tree” graphic in the lower right corner in order to return back to the Jeopardy game board rather than using the typical “slide advance” method.  The color of the “point numbers” on the Jeopardy Game board (slide 3) will be subdued upon the completion of each question when you click on the “tree” graphic. Then, you’ll know which questions/answers have already been played.  To reset the colors for all point numbers, just exit the PowerPoint file and re-open it.  The “Calibraineous 50 Points” slide refers to the DRIFTSIM software that we distributed to you for the 2006 PSEP season. You have the option to use this slide to introduce and demonstrate DRIFTSIM. Then, return back to the POWERPOINT presentation by “X-ing” out of DRIFTSIM.  A green “Start DRIFTSIM” button is at the bottom of this PowerPoint slide. Placing your cursor over this button and left-clicking will boot DRIFTSIM.  Procedure: Copy all DRIFTSIM files from the DRIFTSIM CD into a created folder on your hard disk. I encourage creating a “DRIFTSIM” subdirectory under “Program Files” and copy all folders and files to this location.  IMPORTANT: In this slide, edit the “Start DRIFTSIM” button hyperlink in PowerPoint to find the “DRIFTSIM.EXE” file on your hard disk. This button is currently “hyperlinked” to the “DRIFTSIM.EXE” file as found on my computer. It will need to be changed for your computer.  Edit the questions/answers in this PowerPoint file as your wish to localize your PSEP program. Insert other hyperlinks to initiate video files, to see a PDF document such as a pesticide label, etc.  Adapt this PowerPoint Jeopardy Game for other Extension audiences and programs.  Enjoy this Extension delivery method. – Larry Schulze
