Week 4 / Three Kinds of Material Generators I used or would use in my classroom.

1.      Worksheet and Puzzle Generators

I have used a computer-based testing system or testing generator software in the past. The program was called Exam View Pro. Exam View Pro allows me to input any kind of test questions (multiple-choice, matching, short answer, completion, and essay) and it formats automatically to the paper. All I had to do was to import the questions and the answers and the software formatted to the questions and answers so that it looks in sync on the page. I was also able to build a test bank. Exam View Pro also allows for spell check, and it also scrambles the questions. You can also develop several different versions of the test that you are giving.

 

2.      Graphic Document Makers

I worked with Sizzix Big Shot PRO a lot during a school year. It’s really awesome machine. It creates awards, certificates, bulletin board decoration, and lots more. This is a great and easy die cutting and embossing tool be inexperience and creative. The websites they have in the book are print shop deluxe and smart draw. I would like to discover those in my own time and use them in my classroom.

3.      Worksheet/ puzzle generator software.

I use a lot of worksheets and puzzles in my Guidance Counselor classes; I am really interested in the worksheet/ puzzle generator software.  It appears no matter how old students are, they still love working on worksheets and puzzles. A lot of the times I give just Character Ed words for the students to define. If I could have a good puzzle generator, then they would probably become more interested in the content. After reading the text, I did a quick Google search of online vocabulary puzzle generators, and I am going to try to use them in the next class (worksheetworks.com).
