Translate text into phonetic script

Translate text into phonetic script | Tools for Teachers & Learners | Scoop.it

I always believe that the best sites and web tools are the simplest, and this is certainly the case with Phonetizer. It's a really easy to use tool that takes and text and adds the phonetic spelling below it.

Ivan Barrachina Beltrán's curator insight, March 23, 2014 6:28 AM

Now I'm the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I've reached the top and had to stop
And that's what's botherin' me
I wanna be a man, mancub yeah
And stroll right into town
I wanna be just like the other men
I'm tired of monkeyin' around!

Prezi - The Zooming Presentation Editor | Tools for Teachers & Learners | Scoop.it

This is a great tool for creating dynamic presentations that allow you to highlight specific content. They can also be embeded into webpages. A great tool for creating assignment reports too.

Vernon Fowler's comment November 4, 2011 4:39 PM
As much as I love Prezi and will avoid using PowerPoint ever again, I wonder how quickly students can pick up the skills (even from the 1-2-3 at http://prezi.com/learn/ ) to create an effective presentation without going overboard on visual aids. Most of our courses are only 10 weeks and I just mentioned Prezi as an excellent alternative but not for our upcoming seminars in just over a week's time. So how long did it take your students to pick up Prezi?
