Tuesday's Tech Tips!
Random Number Picker - Fruit Machine
It's always tough to pick a new student every day - with all those hands up and those little eyes just saying, "pick me, pick me." Enough with stressing about that when you let the computer pick it for you. After all, who can get upset with a computer.
With the ClassToolsnet.Random Name or Word Picker, you can insert names or words into the generator, either from direct input or copying and pasting from a word process or spreadsheet.
Idea: Randomly pick your students for jobs, projects, groups.
Idea: Input a list of words and have students offer definitions for those words.
Idea: Put in a list of states, and students name the capitals ( but only 30 at a time - but you can break it up to 25 and 25?)
Select Typewriter or Fruit Machine to have the selection made. Make sure you have sound! And the winner is...
