A history class at Raa Middle School is using innovative technology to teach students in a fun way.

Smart classroom technology helps one of Raa's American history classes. The students have a wireless clicker to answer questions, and the students with the most correct answers race cars virtually at the end of the rounds keeping the students engaged and the classroom environment, high-energy.

Carlos Fernandez teaches the class he said, "They're participating in it where they are answering questions, they are getting instant feedback whether it's right or wrong, and it's very, very competitive. "

Fernandez says the students are trying to beat each other to get the highest score. The review session then turns into a game, and they don't realize how much they are learning.

Thats cool!!! i think that is a good idea for kids in school because they can focus in their school work and still have fun. Its not like they are just sitting in a boring class just listening to someone talk or doing book work. I like the idea and think that they need to start working on that in other schools as well
