Make Tag clouds with random texts (copy and paste!)

By

This great free tool is amazing. Copy any text or complete website from the internet. Paste it into the wordle.net box on their page, click create and you get a tag cloud where the most frequently used words from your text will be shown as large words whereas the lesser used words will be very small. I reckon a great way to collect e.g. group findings, opinions in class or to introduce a new topic.

Here is a wordle made from the BAG Homepage:

Using socrative.com – a quick report

By

I’ve just tried a quiz using socrative.com in a group of 22 kids. In teams the students played against other team in class. In the end the winner even got a prize. That was an interesting learning experience using new media and a fun lesson at the same time. I mainly used multiple choice questions/answers, simply because it’s easier to handle in class. of course you need a reasonable WIFI and a bunch of netbooks for your students. It also perfectly works on your portable device but our kids aren’t allowed to use them in school.

I strongly recommend to give it a go. It’s not only fun creating a quiz but also doing the quiz and having your students engaged in learning a foreign language!
