1. This website can be used for practice quizzes before an exam.
2. Assign games as homework. Students will be more motivated to study and do work at home if it is in game form.
3. Create a competition between students/classes to see who can get a score of 100% first.
4. If student's complete work early they can go online and play educational games.
5. Have class share about student's personal "Micon". This will motivate kids to keep playing games to earn more credits for buying fun stuff.

This is an awesome website! I can't wait to play this on my own, and to make my own "student" website, and try to pass the games. I think this would be great to use, especially to make it an assessment and take all of the kids to a computer lab to take it at the same time. That would be awesome.
