Material generators are a great asset to the classroom. I use material generators all the time. The three material generators I decided to focus on are:
Computer-Based Test System: I would absolutely love using a computer-based test system. This would allow the students to take assessments without having to use a pencil and paper. Using a computer-based test system would cut down on the time I spend grading tests and students would not have to wait to see their grade. It would also cut down the time I spend at the copy machine every week copying tests.
Puzzle and Worksheet Generators: This is something I use in my classroom a lot. My students love completing puzzles. I create puzzles for just about every subject. When I use the puzzles in my classroom I notice my students try harder to successfully complete them. Puzzles are a different way to present material in a challenging, but fun way.
Database Software: The district I teach in uses INOW. This system allows me the opportunity to do many things. INOW keeps attendance, grades, student information, and allows me to complete lesson plans. It is very user friendly.
The puzzle and worksheet generators are a great asset in the classroom. Most children loves to create a puzzle activity. It's keeps them motivated and it's a fun.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited about using test generators in my future classroom. I love the idea that tests are different from student to student. As an English teacher, I need to be able to see my students' writings. I would love to be able to give students a test on the computer for the multiple choice or fill in the blank type questions, but also have a place for them to write extended responses.
