All the games in Wonders are being updated! Check out “This Week's Games” from the Teacher or Student Dashboard and you will notice:
- A clearer, more intuitive navigation and a new “end screen.”
- A printable score sheet, so students can show you how they answered each question and how much time it took.
- We’ve ensured flash has been removed from the activity's coding and ensured that each game meets accessibility standards.
