Teaching with Online Tools

 Teaching with Online Tools

         I accessed the site http://www.toolsforeducators.com/ . I became amazed of what the site provides for us. It is really marvelous. I called it " all in one" in my favourite. I added it to my delicious.  I think that using the word search generator provides very easy and professional activities for word spelling revisions. I liked it and I will use it in my site and in my class and in the class blog or site. The crossword generator can help in the same way. I liked the dice tool. The students can make them in groups. The teacher even can use them as a starter or a game inside the class. I liked the game generator tool. It provides printable games with pictures. It can be used as a starter or ice breaker or a plenary for our lessons. It will help the students revise and memorize vocabularies. The spelling reading worksheets can help when the teacher tries to make a word reading sheet for his class. The best think that it is accompanied with pictures to help student keep the words by heart and memorize them with their mutual pictures.

         The website http://bogglesworldesl.com/ is very useful for writing activities, word spelling and making exercises. It contains varied collections of flashcards, songs, worksheets and exercises. It provides lesson plan for the teachers. They also can use the http://poster.4teachers.org/  as it is a free tool which allows educators to create a lesson, worksheet, or class page and immediately publish it online. Teachers can also set up classes and assign projects to students. Students complete the assignments by creating their own online projects or reports. Teachers and students can even add images and links to their pages.

         The easy test maker http://www.easytestmaker.com/default.aspx is a powerful tool to make tests of all types. The site provides printed and pictured instructions for the teachers to be followed. The best part of the website is the inline tests where you can make automatic tests that are run and graded automatically online. This option is helpful for blogs and nicenet. It is also helpful for learner autonomy. Unfortunately they are used for upgraded versions only. But you can do so by using hot potatoes http://hotpot.uvic.ca/ . The site provides you a free install of the version of the software. It is easy to use it. You can use it online and offline as it provides the exercises in html form.
