prepare practice sheets from the computer generated presentations

inform Electronically does not mean that the students work directly with digital media. If the Internet relieves the teacher of simple but meaningful work, it can be just as helpful.

A wonderful example of such a discharge is the practice sheet generator Goethinstituts . Actually, he is meant for teachers of German in a foreign language, but also for other subjects he has to use very well.

You can use any digital available text to copy to the generator and then make various settings. To focus as the Auferksamkeit of students on a text, it makes sense to bring the sections of a text in the correct order to make or to have headings assigned to individual sections of text. This goes to the generator very easy. Whether the sorting of the stanzas of a poem, the structuring of a property, text or a short story, the generator is a simple way to train the reading ability of students.

more: it will increase your cloze To create the omitted words - a clear advantage over the simple word processor - can be collected automatically at the beginning of the text in a box. The completed exercise sheets can I print out or even take over to save in my word processor.

Overall a nice little online application that can be created quickly and well didactic teaching material.

sense of visual search term

Sure it is you've noticed: When students prepare presentations, they use wikipedia. This is not always useful, even not at all always sufficient, but sometimes much too large. Students must also learn other media than the Internet to use.
Whoever denies his department including preparation of Wikipedia, which perhaps should do in a particular way and use the eyePlorer.


Then the result of a search looks for the term "Web 2.0" is no longer as in the classical view of Wikipedia- (pictured left), but is presented in a colorful circle , the especially the links to various other Wikipedia articles represented.

Colorful bells and whistles? No, more meaningful patterning. Central concepts are represented with great keywords, less important terms are smaller to see. The key words are generic terms also assigned (such as: Science & Technology, People, health), depending on the keyword in content and size - vary - depending on the relevance to the topic. Sure: some concepts and assignments are quite streibar, but overall it is a clever search tool.

course I can go with the mouse over each word and get a brief statement is used in what context the term in the corresponding wikipedia article. Also, as part of a circle will be selected for my research particularly important concept on which the search is then limited, if I am only about for the scientific aspects of Angela Merkel's career interest.

do you register - for free - at, you can also easily collect the information found in an online notebook, and has always access to the information gathered. All other functions are available but also without registration. Whether I get information for a presentation or a skilled work or a portfolio an issue putting together at that eyePlorer would be a great help, at least in the structuring and planning of a theme.

What is the use of simplistic, with the help of this video beautifully clear. Many thanks to Nik Peachey for this Tip.
