This is a great new game from Google which helps students develop their vocabulary through spelling and pronunciation. Using Chrome, students can actually speak to the computer and listen to the pronunciation of the words as they build a word tower. They can even listen to a speaking dictionary telling them what the words mean. This should get your students working autonomously to develop their own vocabulary and if they sign in they can track and share their results.
Nik Peachey's insight:
This is a game that I did some work on for Google.
Sayed Saber Ali's curator insight,

I appreciate this share from Nik Peachey via his Tools for Learners page on Scoop.it. Nik is one educator I would highly recommend folks follow on Scoop.it. I truly appreciate his philosophical and pedagogical posts.
As Nik points out in his summary, the feature that allows The Answer Pad to stand out from resources like Socrative and Infinite Learning is the graphing tool. I see this feature being big in the math, science, and CAD classrooms. |
Great tool for getting students to work together on designing their own app concept.
