Using technology to make education easier
since things are evolutiong nowadays, there are more and more programs that can be use for teaching. Today i have learn about a new program call hot potatoes. This program is an interactive web based on teaching exercises and it can be delivered to students from any appliances.
This program has interesting as it has different functions that we can use to create teaching exercises. It consists of Jcloze, Jquiz, Jmatch, Jmix, and mashe. i have tried it to create exercises and i can say that it is very useful and easy. you can create multiple choice,crossword, matching, gap fill exercises, jumbled sentence and short answer.
How is it useful for teachers?
As mentioned, it is an interesting app for teachers as you can create many activities and assessment as well. Then you can send it to your students. they can use it to do their exercised and also they can check for their answers before they submit and sometime they can check their marks as well. But unfortunately not all students can have access to it and of course it takes a lot of time to create these activities. on my next post , i will tell you more about it.
