Other Great Resources

 

 

Hot Potatoes

A great free resource for exercise creation. The site includes cloze exercises, multiple choice, short answer, mix and match, crosswords, and many more exercises types if you feel up to customizing HotPot. Hot Potatoes exercises can be used on a Moodle site and is a much better choice than the Moodle quiz creator.

 

Warning:  Hot Potatoes cannot be used with wikis.

 

Cloze

Your standard fill-in-the-blank with auto-gap or self-selection options. The print format works as well as the online version

Example of a Printable Cloze Exercise

 

Crossword

Your standard crossword puzzle, but easier to create. Crosswords are also printable, but not uploadable on the wiki because it is an html file.

 

Mix

A mixed-up sentence or paragraph exercise that does not do as well in print as online.

 

Matching

A mix and match exercise. The print version does not work as well as the online version, but it is okay in a crunch.

Example of a Printable Matching Exercise

 

Quiz

A multiple-choice, multiple answer, and short answer quiz creator. The print versions are fine.

SurveyMonkey

An excellent site for creating short surveys, including short answer questions. If you want more than 10 questions on your survey though, you will have to pay for an upgrade.

Take this short technology survey to see a variety of the questions types available on survey monkey. You can also decide to print the survey you create online and pass out hard copies for students to complete instead of emailing the survey or providing a link to the website.

 


 

Del.icio.us

The primary use of del.icio.us is to store your bookmarks online, which allows you to access the same bookmarks from any computer and add bookmarks from anywhere, too. You can also use del.icio.us to see the interesting links that your friends and other people bookmark, and share links with them in return.

 


 

Rubistar

A rubric creator. Some of you may have others you like, but this is a start. Create rubrics for all your classes and share them with your students. It certainly helps if students know what they are being graded on.

 


 

Quandary

From the creators of Hot Potatoes, a great maze creator. Use it for fun or for solving real problems in all subjects--medicine, law, business, science. The uses are endless. In the free version, you can only create a short maze.

 


 

DFilm Information (Now DVolver Moviemaker)

If you want to learn a little about the company before you make a movie, check out this site first.

Dvolver MovieMaker

Your students can actually create their own movies here with a limited number of templates and characters, but they can still be creative and have to type in dialogue. It reminds us of cartoon strip language practice in a multimedia format.

 


 

VocabProfiler

Paste in a document and find out which words are in the West General Word List or the Academic Word List.

 


Cloud Computing with Dropbox

If you always lose your flashdrives, then Dropbox may be for you. Store up to 2 GBs free in the "cloud" and sync the files to any computer you regularly use.


Wordle

Create word clouds from web pages or other documents. An visual expression of the most common vocabulary words in a website or document.

Glogster

A simple online poster creator that can be used for a variety of purposes. Take a look at the samples for some great ideas. Below is a poster created using Wordle and Glogster to highlight the basic skills for reading.

 


 

Zamzar

Free online video conversion of videos from YouTube, Google Videos, TeacherTube. Just provide the URL of the clip you want to convert, select the type of conversion you want (I almost always choose mp4), put in your email address and click convert. The converted video will come to your inbox and you can save the clip to your computer. You will never have to take a chance on slow Internet connections again.
