"Jeopardy!" has gone to school. No, Alex Trebek isn't visiting local classrooms, but a member of the quiz show's "Clue Crew" is.

Jimmy McGuire, Wednesday, visited St John Central Grade School, in Marietta, to explain the show's "Classroom Jeopardy" software.

He'll travel to Waverly Elementary School, on Thursday.

The system allows teachers to customize their lessons to the "Jeopardy!" format, using their own computers.

McGuire, who attended Ohio University, has been with the show for eight years, traveling to dozens of countries providing clues used on the show.

I think that it is great that the schools are receiving Jeopardy to help them in their classrooms. I know that it has helped my students. We use it as a study tool for tests. They really get into the game. I hope that the game is enjoyed.
