A very useful book with plenty of readymade ideas

Thank you for the ideas, they are useful, and customisable. I am a fan of using technology in the classroom and love to add challenging themes to motivate young learners through various games and this book does the same for you.

I finished the book and came here to rate it and give it 2 stars, I was shocked as it's rated 4 stars, why? I have no clue, for me, it was not useful.
