Activate - Motivate - TEXTIVATE! | ICT inquiry and exploration | Scoop.it

Textivate is an online facility for creating and sharing interactive browser-based activities. Text re-ordering, gap-fills, text re-construction, anagrams, matching, memory, hangman, flashcards, millionaire and lots more - all automatically generated based on any text and/or list of matching items that you put into the textivate text box. Much of the site is free to use, and subscribers can upload resources to share with their students or embed activities on a blog or website. It is browser-based, so it works on desktops, laptops, ipads etc. The activities are ideal for whole-class work with any interactive whiteboard. You can see video tutorials here: http://textivate.posthaven.com/video-tutorials To help you get started, browse the hundreds of public resources on the site, or click on "textivate now" to see the range of activities available.

Nice tool!

Try using this set up on an interactive whiteboard with set text....

Elena Manou's comment, Today, 5:41 AM
I find it extremely useful in revisiting texts and consolidating language. Especially with the features it has to add/ remove words to reconstruct the whole texts it is engaging and educational.

Paula Jamieson's curator insight, May 15, 12:51 AM

It's like being back in the classroom. This afternoon I have discovered this interesting article........after taking a workshop on 'iPads to support Writing' this morning. Typical. There are a couple here I haven't used or explored. I find that articles like this often trigger my thinking back to "I use to use that" or "That's right I downloaded that but didn't have a purpose at the time......".

iPads in the classroom – A development of a taxonomy for the use of iPads in schools

The investigation shows that almost all objectives, teaching tasks and concepts of thecurriculum can be promoted with the aid of tablet computers. Nevertheless, a lot ofprerequisites in terms of hardware and software are required for a successful integration of tablets. In addition, there are some drawbacks, such as the lack of teacher training and slower text production.

Piet Kommers's curator insight, April 6, 5:28 PM

Realism and spatially-correct environments elicit new ambitions for learning. Virtuality and immersiveness however is not a pandora for the essential problems like motivation, concentration and abstraction. Let's build upon the  success of gaming and check if a more playing attitude by the learner leads to certain benefits for longer term learning.

Olli Hatakka's curator insight, April 8, 2:55 AM

I just had to rescoop this article from Piet's Scoops. This is a nice collection of ideas (and actual developments) in using the possibility of virtual worlds in education.
