Community Review for Stack the Countries

My Take
This app is really good for individual learning. It looks and seems kind of elementary, but I honestly think it is good for all levels as a refresher. I believe that most of our high school students do not know a lot of this information and should be refreshed on it. Would be really great to use in a World Geography class!
How I Use It
To use this app in my classroom, I would have it as a review probably at the end of class. It would be good to use the last 15-20 minutes of a class just to have the students review facts about the different countries. It asks about flags, government, political leaders, etc.

Ah ha moments: Oh, that is where that country is located!
I like this app as a tool for developing surface knowledge. It is not great for digging deeper, but it allows the students to gain some general knowledge upfront allowing the teacher for focus on more important content. I have found that all of my students enjoy the graphics, the music, and speed of the game play. I give it high marks on engagement, but just middle of the road for pedagogy and true learning extensions.

A great tool for students to learn world geography without realizing they're learning!
I started using this program, after previously using Stack the States, when I taught U.S. geography. Now that I teach world geography, I thought this would be a nice transition over to the country version. Students always get excited when I hook up my iPad to the projector and we play a round of Stack the Countries. It is one of those apps where students don't even realize they are learning as they play the game. It also motivates students to get the app for themselves and get better at their geography skills. It is a nice supplement to learning.
